How much chocolate is too much?

LiebeMama

     I can't even remember why they say to eat chocolate sparingly during pregnancy, but how much chocolate is considered too much?

I haven't heard that before but I'm assuming because of the caffiene???  In which case it would take a lot of chocolate to overdo it.

Caffeine is the only reason that I can think of.

This is not even worth worrying about. You can have 200 mg of coffee a day. An ounce and a half of chocolate has like 5 mg of caffeine. You'd probably make yourself sick from the sugar before you'd get to 200mg of caffeine from chocolate.

I have chocolate espresso cookies in the oven, peanut M&M's in the cupboard and S'More ice cream in the freezer....if I ever reach the level of 'Too Much Chocolate' I'll let you know!

in my world, there's no such thing as too much chocolate.

It is the caffeine, and it depends on the type of chocolate you're eating how much caffeine it has. I believe baking chocolate has more than chocolate in candy. But, it would still take a lot to get the 400 mg. max that is suggested per day.

I wouldn't worry about it at all.  Enjoy your chocolate!
