Chocolate

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

ChocolateINTRODUCTION
Like all foods, strictly speaking, chocolate is not fattening. It depends how it is integrated into the daily diet, which is normal, weight-loss or excess (nibbling).

While a product is fat, high calorie: one tablet of 100 grams is equivalent to 200 grams of fried or 3 tablespoons of oil. And contrary to popular belief the difference in calories between dark chocolate and the milk is not so obvious: respectively 516 and 541 calories (per 100g).
