Dietitian's Tips for Consuming 85% Cacao Dark Chocolate

  • Metabolic Effect: Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants due to its high cocoa content and can help maintain balanced blood sugar levels. However, it is still an energy-dense food, so portion control is important.
  • Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming dark chocolate alone, consuming it with a handful of nuts such as almonds or walnuts, which contain healthy fats, helps to raise blood sugar more evenly. Also, its antioxidant effect increases when consumed with coffee.
  • Things to Consider: Dark chocolate can cause weight gain if consumed excessively due to its high calorie content. It is sufficient to consume 2-3 small pieces a day. It can also trigger migraines in some people.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from dark chocolate, you need to walk briskly for about 1 hour or cycle for 30 minutes. This helps you maintain your daily energy balance.
