Joined: Apr 2012 Posts: 111 | My most recent discovery in useful foods is real chocolate. As long as I have a hot drink I can manage to get through 50gs (half a bar) of 70% or higher cocoa chocolate. The hot drink helps to melt it and stops it sticking to my mouth. High % cocoa chocolate has lots of health benefits as well as being high in protein and fat. Even though the fat is saturated it is a healthy fat. This discovery has really cheered up my eating. It is a handy snack that I can carry in my bag. It goes particularly well with a latte, which gives extra calories and protein, though recent research suggests that the useful flavinoids can bind to milk proteins which stops them being available! This is a shame but hopefully there are still some that the body can use. Sally.
