Is dark chocolate good for meal planning?

Dark chocolate is calorie-dense — similar to nuts gram-for-gram. A square or two is a good portion in a deficit.

Higher cocoa percentages are slightly higher fat and lower sugar, but calories per 100 g are similar.

How to use dark chocolate in a meal plan

  • 1–2 squares with coffee as an evening treat
  • Stirred into porridge with berries
  • Sprinkled over Greek yoghurt
  • Melted with a small spoon for fruit dipping
