Title: Dark chocolate
Post by: Faust on February 02, 2009, 03:52:54 AM: What are the thoughts about dark chocolate (like 85% cacoa).

Been reading that it's a good source of anti-oxidants and magnesium...
But on the other hand it has a lot of unhealthy fats.

So i don't know wether or not i should give in to it.

I noticed a slight increase in vascularity (I probably wasn't lean enough at the time to see great effects). Anywho, I gained a good chunk of fat eating that much chocolate. That's where me and dark chocolate ended.

It does increase vascularity, hence why some BBer's eat just before a comp.

Flavonols found in the coco cause increases in vascularity by increasing the synthesis of N.O in blood vessels - dark chocolate is superior to other chocolate due to the higher coco content, 80%+ will work best obviously.

NO. Toblerone does not have enough cocoa powder and therefore has too much sugar, it is not a good choice.
