Can you eat too much chocolate??

L-C · Mar 19th, 2010, 13:22 PM

I had great plans for healthy eating and have been having my five a day most days.....but just can't resist the chocolate on top!! I'm having at least a couple bars a day

Could this do any harm??

Well, the way I think is there's NEVER too much chocolate, I dont get sick of it,.. I can live off the stuff. But I did hear to limit it because of the caffeine in it or something, but I tend to not listen to things I dont want to hear. Sorry, I dont really have an answer for you

you should try and limit it but its hard when your craving is chocolate

i dont think it will do any harm tho
I have eaten loas of it since being pregnant

A little of what you fancy does you good so they say!!!

I have been eating as healthily as I can and do have the odd bar of choc generally dark tho!!

However you just caught me after eating a bag of mint aero's and a can of diet cherry cola!!!!!!!!

I've been having decaff tea and so the choc should be my only caffine in take and milk choc has much less on 6mg in 1oz - the internet is a nightmare!!! can't believe all this is on here.

Oh i'm terrible too. I hardly really ate it before i got pregnant but now i could live off it. I keep saying to my OH that baby is going to come out looking like a cadbury's bar, he he

I can't have wine so do have choc - not too much but if I fancy it I have it.

Oh me too! I hardly ever have chocolate but since becoming pregnant Ive turned into the chocolate monster! I crave it all day long... and tend to have a bar a day at the least. The rest of my diet is very healthy so I don't see the harm. Chocolate does contain caffeine though so if you are concerned about this just make sure you don't eat too much. I did read somewhere though, that white chocolate doesnt contain caffeine... so indulge in that! But I wouldnt worry...pregnancy is the one time we can spoil ourselves! Enjoy!

And typing this has made me want mini-eggs so badly!

yum!
