    Q: "I'm a chocolate freak. How can I satisfy my cravings without downing a bag of M&Ms?"

    A: This is a question I get asked so often! The key is to think single-serving snacks. Most sugar-free chocolate pudding cups, for example, have 60 calories or less. I also love Skinny Cow's fudge bars, at only 100 calories a pop, and Vitalicious VitaTops Deep Chocolate muffin tops - for a reasonable 100 calories, you get nine grams of super-filling fiber and a treat that tastes like a brownie. But for those times when a girl just has to have a candy bar, I'm a fan of Q.bel Dark Chocolate Wafer Rolls, which you can find in most health-food stores: They're crispy and creamy at the same time, and each roll has only 60 calories.
