Anyone got any strategies for pursuing healthy food choices when your hand creeps to the chocolate?

There's an easy answer to this - reach for the healthy chocolate . . . . . . . that which has a cocoa content of above 75%.

I have a single piece of 85% cocoa chocolate at the start of every day.

Do a long run to earn said chocolate?

 

Or.......
Just eat the chocolate and don't worry about it.
Everything in moderation

 

Have other enjoyable snacks available? I've been aiming for about 20% protein in my diet so I aim to keep snacks in that are high protein e.g. roasted pulses/broadbeans, houmous, seeds, nuts - however apart from the pulses/beans they're all quite high calorie/fat, so if your reason for staying away from chocolate is that then these won't help.
