Torku Dark Chocolate - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Torku Dark Chocolate

• Metabolic Effect: Dark chocolate has antioxidant properties due to the flavonoids it contains and supports the health of blood vessels. It also has a mild stimulating effect due to the caffeine and theobromine it contains.
• Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming dark chocolate alone, consuming it with a handful of nuts such as almonds or walnuts increases fiber and healthy fat intake and prolongs the feeling of fullness. You can also satisfy your sweet cravings in a healthier way by consuming it with fruits.
• Things to Consider: As the cocoa content of dark chocolate increases, the amount of sugar it contains decreases. Therefore, it is healthier to choose dark chocolates with a cocoa content of 70% or higher. One piece of dark chocolate (approximately 5 grams) contains approximately 25-30 calories.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from one serving (approximately 20 grams) of dark chocolate, you need to walk for about 15 minutes or run at a brisk pace for 8 minutes. This is a short exercise that you can easily add to your daily activity routine.
