Re: addicted to hot chocolate
i know the swiss miss for regular hot chocolate is 90 calories...it does have about 8g of sugar though too. Its better than soda, but if you are counting calories, to me its empty calories because it doesn't fill me up!!
i do love chocolate and have to have it everyday, so alot of times i will have hot chocolate instead of eating something worse.

Re: addicted to hot chocolate
I don't think it's that bad... especially if you don't get a giant size! I mean, it's definitely sugar/empty calories, but that's what most "treats" are. And even when trying to eat healthy or lose weight, I still need my treats.
I think it's a decent way to deal with a sweet craving. I always find a hot drink satisfying, too, plus I like any snack or treat that takes me awhile to finish (and it's hard to gulp down a hot drink).
You could add a cup or 1/2 cup of skim milk to it to actually make it more nutritious, if you care.
I am sure if you looked up the nutrition profile of a 7-11 Hot Chocolate online, you can find it, if you are curious. I feel like "My Fitness Pal" has the hugest database of food and drinks, and everything is in there!

Re: addicted to hot chocolate
I drink two cups of coffee a day with french vanilla creamer, and still lose weight, so as long as you aren't also having lots of other treats, I think its a-ok.
