What changes the calories
- Cacao percentage matters: lower-cacao chocolates usually contain more sugar and less cocoa solids, which shifts the balance between carbs and fat.
- Add-ins like nuts, caramel, toffee or dried fruit change the calories and macros compared with a plain bar.
- Bars come in many sizes, so eating a few squares versus a whole bar makes a big difference to the total.
- Milk chocolate and white chocolate are different products with different nutrition, so plain dark chocolate figures don't carry over to them.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh your squares or check the bar's per-piece weight, since chocolate is calorie-dense and small amounts add up quickly.
- Log the entry that matches your bar's cacao percentage and any fillings, rather than a generic chocolate entry.
- Use the barcode or snap a photo of your snack in BerryFit to log the exact bar, then adjust the portion to what you actually ate.
