bittersweet chocolate

About This Food

Bittersweet chocolate, enjoyed worldwide, offers a less sweet alternative to milk chocolate. The calories in bittersweet chocolate is 182.0. It contains flavonoids, which act as antioxidants, and provides some iron and magnesium. It also has a decent amount of fiber. However, it is relatively high in fat, so it is not the best option for people on a strict weight-loss program. A small square per day can be a reasonable treat for most people. Overall, moderate consumption has a neutral impact on weight management. Try opting for a square of dark chocolate with a high cocoa percentage; this will likely be lower in sugar.
