About Chocolate
A confection made from cocoa butter and cocoa solids; very calorie-dense.
Health Benefits of Chocolate
Cocoa content drives nutrition
Milk chocolate is ~546 kcal per 100g; dark chocolate (70%+ cocoa) ~598 kcal. Dark is slightly higher in calories but carries far more flavanols and fibre from cocoa solids than milk chocolate. A small square of dark (10g) is about 60 kcal.
How to eat chocolate right
Choose 70%+ cocoa dark chocolate and have a small piece (10-15g, ~60-90 kcal) a day to satisfy a sweet tooth. Dark chocolate's theobromine and a little caffeine give a mildly bitter, lingering taste - let a small square melt slowly rather than chewing.
