25 calories a bite

I love chocolate. Especially minty chocolate. Like Junior Mints – they’re refreshing.

Keeping a food journal makes me come face to face with how many bites of chocolate I consume, so I don’t much like to do a food journal. But if I want to be serious about eating well…

Here's an interesting tidbit (from www.webmd.com/diet/features/single-best-way-lose-weight).
“It's easy to overlook bites, licks, and tastes (known as "BLTs" to professionals). But that's a huge mistake — there are 25 calories, on average, in each mouthful. Translation: Six little bites a day add up to around 15 extra pounds a year…"

If you think you might want to give this food journal idea a try:
For us pen and paper archaics (that’d be me), simply record in a spiral notebook all food eaten. Or record in a pre-organized book like the DietMinder. Computer lovers can check out online journals, such as myfooddiary.com ($9 per month) and nutrihand.com (free for a basic plan; $10 per month for extras). PDA users, visit weightbydate.com and download the software (starting at $19).
The crucial info to write down: the time you ate, what you ate, and how much you ate. Make a habit of jotting notes right after you eat. Tracking your diet online? Jot down what you eat on slips of paper when away from the computer and calculate nutritional content afterward.

One last thing – a need-to-know detail –
one refreshing Junior Mint piece – just 10.625 calories.
