What's the best thing to snack on, that's good for my body+weight. Options

Fruit is great - badabababa, I'm loving it.
But I'm trying to resist the call of cravings for chocolate and sweets My mom's really stingy on buying snack bars. We tried Weight Watchers ice cream once - it was gone in less than a week. I eat Special K in the morning. Or, rather, I did before our pantry got infested with ants I prefer my cereal without insects, thank you.

Chocolate is the worst for me, which is why I go for dark chocolate when I must have some instead of milk chocolate. Yogurt is good, although I tend to eat mine as breakfast or with lunch. Fruit and veggies are what I usually snack on. Or granola bars.

Erg, is there a major difference between the types of chocolate? I eat a variety of it

From everything that I have heard dark chocolate is better for you. It has more antioxidants in it. Personally, if I'm craving chocolate and have one peice of dark chocolate it satisfies my cravings better than if I have a peice of milk chocolate or something. So I eat less.

OMG I know what you mean -- Occasionally I come across a bag of those Herskey's chocolates, where they have mini bars of "Special Dark" and I will have 1 or 2 and I'll just let it melt in my mouth all the way! It satisfies me! But if someone gave me a bag of milk chocolate hershey's kisses, I'll probably finish the bag! lol

My boyfriend is allergic to chocolate -- well, sort of. He can only eat white chocolate, since it has a lower concentration or something of cocoa butter (or whatever it is). He can have SOME milk chocolate, but like, if he has more than a snicker's bar in less than a month, he'll probably break out. :[ It used to be worse in high school, but he can eat a little more milk chocolate now and not break out much. :D

LOL I am exactly the same way. Plus, I don't "eat" my chocolate. The melt in your mouth is the best part.

I have a second cousin who has a lot of trouble with chocolate. I'm sure he's been diagnosed with something by now, but when he was younger he would get horrible stomach cramps and get really bloated and sick if he ate chocolate. He would either throw up or get it them, um, other way. I felt bad for him, too, because his school would give out chocolate as treats.

Aw I would seriously die if I couldn't eat chocolate. I love milkshakes and smoothies and all that, but everytime I eat/drink them, I get stomach cramps and bloated-ness and I wanna puke. (Although I couldn't if I tried.)
