which chocolate is best for the waistline?

By admin

So, I am at my local grocery store, and in the bulk aisle, there are:

a) milk-chocolate almonds
b) dark-chocolate almonds
c) no sugar added chocolate almonds (they are similar in color to that of a milk-chocolate almond)
d) organic chocolate almonds (they are similar in color to that of a dark-chocolate almond).

I’m not overweight or anything, but I do watch what I eat, and chocolate-covered almonds are definitely my favorite! MY question is, which of the above are better for my waistline?

Thanks!

Almonds are a good food choice since they contain Omega-3 fatty acids. So good call there. The best choice, though, would be organic chocolate almonds. There is no sugar added to these and the only fat added is the fat necessary to turn the chocolate to a solid form (this is done in all types of chocolate). It might not be the best tasting, but it is the healthiest. If I were you, I would go with dark chocolate almonds. They taste good and there is very little sugar added. Make sure you don’t have more than a handful (or two ;) haha) though.
