How much chocolate do you consume?

[Shaun]

If a unit of chocolate is this much [-----] how much do you consume in an hour?

Zip, nada, zero , rien du tout (dodgy French) etc.

I never quite got the point of it, but I'm delighted if it floats other peoples' boats.

I wish you all very sticky fingers...

I am not a chocolate fan - will eat a little bit if a friend offers me some, but have never (as an adult) bought it for myself.

Depends on the chocolate. A bar of Montezuma's Papua New Guinea can easily last a week as you only need a few squares to get the "hit", Their Dark Milk could go in a few days. I stay away from Cadbury's as you pretty much need the whole bar to get the hit and in the meantime you've eaten heaps of vegetable fat with it.

A reasonable bit ... none if I'm busy but once I break into that packet ..................................... yum yum yum

You filthy beast!

Not a lot and I've weaned myself off wine gums too!

 

[numbnuts]

none

 

[Spinney]

none

Not a lot, except when setting out for a looonnnng bike ride, when I like scoffing crunchies (so not a lot of chocolate there, either, just the coating around the solid sugar!).

But the main reason that it is not a lot is that I daren't buy it. None of this 'one bar lasts a week' nonsense for me. One bar lasts a day, on a good day.

My name is Spinney and I'm a chocaholic. It has been one week since my last fix...

[ ] - none per hour, maybe [-] per week?

If I never ate chocolate again, I wouldn't miss it. Now homemade flapjack, bread and cheese - that is a completely different story...

There was a story recently on the BBC news website where high-consumers of chocolate were less likely to have condition X than low-consumers of chocolate.
High-consumers were defined as something like 5 standard sized bars per month.

I read this out in the office and we did all laugh. 5 a month? 5 a week might be high consumption (5 a day definitely would be), was our general conclusion.

A Kit Kat every day with my lunch.
Before I met wife # 2 I didn't eat chocolate.
But she is a raving chocoholic and has tried to turn me into one too.

None. It gives me migraine.

"he is a raving chocoholic" is a phase I've not heard before

I eat a lot less than I used to....

On Sunday, I got a bag of Minstrels reduced in Sainsburys. I've still got some left. That's how strong I am.

It's quite rare now that I buy a bar of chocolate or some thing like a Mars Bar - mostly it's on something like a long train journey and as much to do with boredom as sweet craving. But I do tend to opt for chocolate theme cereal bars, as opposed to fruity or nutty ones. And my Saturday morning treat is a bowl of cereal that has chocolate curls in it. And at cafe stops, a chocolate cake/traybake is most likely to attract me.

My main weakness in the chocolate respect these days is chocolate milk. Someone said it was good recovery food after a ride, and now I use it to recover every evening, with my dinner.

I love chcolate and eat too much. I've been trying to cut down and haven't ate any since Monday.

None of this bar lasts all week with me. A bar is one serving, no matter how big or what type. Six Kit Kats in multipack are also one serving
