Dark chocolate calories and nutrition facts
100 grams of dark chocolate contains 546 calories, with 4.9 g of protein, 61.2 g of carbohydrate and 31.3 g of fat. It provides 7 g of fiber and 47.9 g of sugar per 100 g. Most of its calories come from fat.
Dark chocolate is dense: a neat 28 g square-row costs about 170 calories, similar to milk chocolate — the difference is intensity, not lightness. Higher cocoa percentages mean less sugar but more fat, so the calories barely move. Its saving grace for a food diary is that two squares of 85% satisfy where half a bar of milk might not.
