Chocolate starts off being low in caffeine. Many folks mistakenly think the theobromine which is the major alkaloid in chocolate is caffeine:

I do miss my 85% cocoa dark chocolate bars. Just a 1" square x 1/4" piece every other day was like eating a whole box of cookies, it was so rich and satisfying! :(

A 200gm block lasts me at least two weeks so I average about 10-15gms a day. I can live with that, and so can my heart, my pancreas and my arteries.

I enjoyed the "Valrhona Le Noir Extra Amer" 85% cocoa bar. Each square (40g) has only 5g of sugar which is acceptable but the 12g of sat. fat. is not, for my diet, putting me over my daily limit. I suppose one square, averaged out over a week or more, it's probably not so bad.
I'll buy a bar. Maybe as a Sunday treat. It IS good stuff. It can live safely in the fridge forever (maybe). ;)

I find my sat fat intake on most days is almost zero. 12 gr daily would fit into my regimen. I found 85% incredibly unpalatable though, 70% is my limit.

I can't report that from my diet software but mostly it's from chicken tenders, "Smart Balance" Omega 3 peanut butter, whole natural almonds, avocado, buffalo, pork tenderloin and other stuff. No cheese, no butter, no milk, no mayo, etc., etc.
70% dark chocolate is decent. Probably contains more sugar? I forget.

My fat is divided (based on a 2300 calorie daily intake):
Percent of calories from fat: 30%
Total Fat: 78g/daily Saturated fat: 10% (8g) Mono-unsaturated fat: 70% (54g) Poly-unsaturated fat: 20% (15g)
One square of 85% dark chocolate is 12g sat. fat. An instant daily overdose. I have to spread it around, carefully.

I never eat close to 2300 calories a day. It's a software/metabolism/weight calculation that fluctuates daily. I'm usually only eating 1,500 calories a day and with exercise, am more fit and strong for it.
I have a long history of bad cholesterol and triglycerides excesses to bring into acceptable range. "Drastic measures for drastic times" or so it may seem.
A bright side is my blood pressure is better so that I only need to medicate every other day usually. It's the plaque in my veins, not sodium causing my high blood pressure. And to think I didn't eat cheese or eggs until I was out of college, only a lion's share of plain hamburgers.
Pop and his heart attacks and gout and Pop-Pop and his diabetes pretty well explains me. 50-years-old, no heart attacks and no diabetes meds yet. I'm super careful/anal lately about diet.
I'm overdue for bloodwork. I'm sure it's better than before! I didn't lose 48 pounds for nothing! :)

The T2 panel only tests total chol; if I ask nicely I can sometimes get HDL added.
Still, I hope yours is a nice surprise, Andy!

I guess I'm somewhere in between. If I ask for it specifically, he'll put a lipid on the sheet. Otherwise, he figure once per year when taking the meds is fine.

In the far SW I get the full works every six months (HDL, LDL, Trigs and Total chol, Hba1c, liver functions and urine tests, and foot examination), and I get all the results told to me if I ask, and retinal examination annually. And all that except the eye exam at our local surgery (Dr's Office).

When she did a thyroid test I couldn't have the lipids done at the same time. And I have to twist her arm to get the lipids done at all as she is "not supposed" to check them when patients are on statins.
I did ask about CRP and homocysteine but again she is "not allowed" to request them unless the patient has a disease involving inflammation.

Chris Hogg - 06 Mar 2008 20:13 GMT >> Tiger_Lily said... >> [quoted text clipped - 51 lines] > >i do like one piece a week Wikipedia has an interesting entry on chocolate. WRT health risks and benefits, in particular the fat content, it says: "Two-thirds of the fat in chocolate comes in the forms of a saturated fat called stearic acid and a monounsaturated fat called oleic acid. However, unlike other saturated fats, stearic acid does not raise levels of LDL cholesterol in the bloodstream.[29]. Consuming relatively large amounts of dark chocolate and cocoa does not seem to raise serum LDL cholesterol levels; some studies even find that it could lower them."
[29] Chocolate:Food of the Gods.. Yale-New Haven Hospital. http://www.ynhh.org/online/nutrition/advisor/chocolate.html
(the usual caveats with Wikipedia apply!)
I have half a 'square' (5g) of 85% cocoa chocolate per day, and I'm just beginning to experiment with cocoa in low-fat milk with a sweetener. From what I read on the label, the cocoa powder (Cadbury's, UK) has about half the fat content of chocolate, i.e. they've removed much of the cocoa butter for use in chocolate proper.
But I have to be careful as too much chocolate gives me a migraine.

For example check out the reviews of bars from around the world by viewers like you (if you happen to be a wine reviewer), with all kinds of attention paid to the first impression, the aroma and sound released by cracking the chocolate, the flavors, the undertones, the hints of....., the aftertaste, and the ratings--86 for Endangered Species! Which Lindt bar restores their reputation? How do bars made with beans from different countries compare?
