If you are indeed a chocolate bar lover then you are going to want to continue reading on because I have found the best low-calorie chocolate bars for you.
When looking to lose body fat or weight, cravings will arise. It is completely natural for them to come up.
But, to suppress them is not a good idea because that craving is only going to only come back stronger next time around.
This is why it is important to eat in a balanced way.
It’s okay to have a little bit of chocolate here and there when dieting.
What you do the majority of the time is what really matters.
With that being said, let’s check out the best low-calorie chocolate bars below!
1. Caramilk
With caramilk being one of the most popular chocolate bars and having been around forever, you know it is consumed at a high rate.
When I began looking at low-calorie chocolate bars, truthfully I was expecting caramilk to be much worse not only calories wise but sugar wise too.
With that being said, each chocolate bar on this list is less than 3oo calories and caramilk is no different as it contains 250 calories for a full bar!
However, consuming a full bar is probably not ideal when it comes to learning self-control and taking responsibility for yourself.
For this reason, it is important to only consume half the amount when looking to lose body fat and weight.
By eating half a caramilk bar, you will be consuming only 125 calories!
And guess what? If you eat half a bar, sugar wise it only contains 11 grams!
Do you know what has more sugar in it than half a caramilk bar?
A medium banana!
This is NOT to say that caramilk is healthier than a banana, however, it is to say that you can consume a chocolate bar in an OVERALL healthy diet!
Nonetheless, take a look at the full caloric breakdown of a complete caramilk bar below.
- Calories: 250
- Fat: 12 grams
- Carbs: 32 grams
- Protein: 2 grams
- Sugar: 22 grams
2. Twix
Twix is a worldwide bar. You can essentially find and consume this almost wherever you are in the world. The crunchiness with the caramel mixed in is what makes this a favorite for so many people.
Having said that, this bar is one of the higher calorie chocolate bars at 291 calories.
The 291 calories are for the 2 piece Twix bar.
Therefore, it would be optimal for you to just have one and save the other one for the next day. By taking this approach you will keep your overall calorie and sugar budget down!
- Calories: 291
- Fat: 14 grams
- Carbs: 38 grams
- Protein: 2.8 grams
- Sugar: 28 grams

Mars bar is one of the highest sugar-containing chocolate bars on this list, but that does not mean you should never look at it again when looking to lose weight and satisfy your cravings.

Last Words
When you look into fad diets and observe how they have you being so restrictive, you realize how unsustainable that method of dieting is.
Imagine living your whole life not enjoying the foods you want to enjoy and stuck eating bland foods?
Yea, that be tough.
This is why it is vital to eat in a balanced manner.
It is okay if you have chocolate here and there.
It completely okay if you enjoy yourself once in a while because what matters when it comes to fat loss is if you are eating in a caloric deficit. You can read about what exactly a calorie deficit is by clicking here.
Furthermore, what you do the majority of the time is what really matters.
For this reason, following the 80/20 rule can be really helpful for you.
80 percent of the time eat whole nutritious foods and 20 percent of the time consume foods you thoroughly enjoy.
Do not overdo it though but don’t under-do it either.
With that being said, enjoy the journey and the low-calorie chocolate bars!
