So...chocolate...

I love chocolate. Like, more than a man trying to lose weight ought to. The other day I made my fiance and I sugar free molten chocolate cakes (thinking taking the sugar out would drastically reduce the calories), and they were pretty fantastic! The problem came when I put the recipe into MFP and it told me that each little cake was nearly 1000 calories. Most of that was from the chocolate, which depressed me a little bit. I had to eat more chocolate to make myself feel better :-(

Anyways, all pity-party aside, I need someone to share some good news with me. Specifically, I need to hear that there is a reduced calorie chocolate thing out there that would allow me to bake such deliciousness without overspending my calories while I do it!

    If you need a chocolate fix, go for Hershey's dark chocolate kisses. Only 20 calories each.

    skinny-cow products tastes good, but I like Guiradelli (sp??) chocolate squares. I don't bake but I know they make baking chocolate as well. IDK how much of a difference this brand will be for you though, but just the individual squares alone aren't too much to me

    At the moment, chocolate rice crispies seem to be satisfying my love of chocolate. I normally have a small bowl before I go to bed each night...soooo worth the calories.

    I save my calories for a fudgcicle. Its closed enough to get my chocolate fix and you get a lot of "bang for your buck". Usually 100 calories.

    I keep a bar of dark chocolate in the house for my fix. About 25 calories per square. Usually lasts me 3-4 weeks.

    Note to self - check things on MFP BEFORE eating/ making them if unsure.

    In a different country, but we had some little pots of choc mousse from the supermarket which weren't too bad for calories (about 150, I think). Read labels carefully, though, 'cos some of the choc desserts were very calorific.

    As noted above, just have a bit of real choc (pref dark, it's lower cal).

    Also, think about why you're craving - thirsty? need more protein and filling foods? tired? emotional? Look after yourself!
