Aghh it's not even 9 am but I am craving for chocolate and I unfortunately know the reason for this. I hadn't been eating chocolate for a while and last night I ate a Twix bar. Now, I can't stop thinking of chocolate! I may as well get dressed and go to Giant Eagle to buy some chocolate for breakfast :).

I've read
here that 1 package of Twix bar has 280 calories and has SATURATED FAT EQUIVALENT to11 strips of bacon. I don't eat bacon but I've found out that 11 strips of bacon is a lot so eating a Twix bar should definitely be considered! The link I've given also lists America's Worst Supermarket Foods and gives alternative choices. For example instead of eating a Twix bar we can eat a 100 Grand bar which has 190 calories and has less than half of the saturated fat found in 1 package of Twix.

Healthier compared to Twix |

I haven't tried a 100 Grand bar yet but I'm going to keep this in mind before buying a Twix bar. If you're determined not to eat chocolate but don't know what to do I suggest you read

Update: I ate the fresh blackberries I bought last week to get rid off my chocolate craving and so far I'm feeling satisfied.
