Can dark chocolate make you fat??........??......??

Question

i know that dark chocolate can help prevent heart disease and lower high blood pressure but can it make you fat like milk chocolate??

Answer 1

I think it's way less fattening because unlike milk chocolate it doesn't have as much additives like milk, or maybe even cream.... which is very fattening. Its not as sweet so theres probly less sugar too.

Answer 2

Nope, it's healthy.

Answer 3

1 ounce of dark chocolate per day is recommended for better health.  However, too much of anything is fattening so make a calorie swap-out with some other food in order to eat dark chocolate daily.

Answer 4

Certainly can, no doubt about it!!

Answer 5

*Anything* can make you fat, if you eat too much of it.  Chocolate, milk, broccoli, anything.  All things in moderation.

Answer 6

Yes it can! It still has fat and sugar, just perhaps not as much milk fat as milk chocolate, yielding less saturated fat overall which is healthier.

Small bits of dark chocolate are indeed healthy, mainly thought to be due to their antioxidant properties, but pure dark chocolate alone is far too bitter for anyone to enjoy, therefore they add the fat/sugar to it.

Overall rule of thumb: Stick to a smaller portion, eating a bar a day might do you more harm that good- especially if you have diabetes or blood sugar problems. Everything in moderation is healthy!

Answer 7

overeating anything can make you fat

Answer 8

I make dark chocolate pancakes at my work.  (yum)  and alas although dark chocolate tastes great it is still one of those sometimes foods. (dam it)  

Answer 9

yes, it can. Its just not as fatty as milk chocolate.

Answer 10

In excess, yes it most likely will make someone fat.

Answer 11

It's healthier (and in my opinion tastes much better), but too much of it is indeed a bad thing. Everything in moderation!  

Answer 12

Yes, it may have nutritional benefits but it's still fattening.  Everything in moderation :)

Answer 13

just like anything, don't over do it.

Answer 14

dark is the best and healthiest out of all chocolates but its still fattening

Answer 15

If you read the ingredients listed on a chocolate bar, you will see that there is a lot of fat in dark chocolate.  The answer is yes!
