Can a square of dark chocolate eaten everyday be healthy?!


Question: Can a square of dark chocolate eaten everyday be healthy!?
I suppose it would be fair to say that i am a bit of a health freak lol!.
All i drink is water and green tea!. I also have a pretty healthy diet, having on a typical day something like this:
Breakfast: Porridge with fruit
Lunch: Wholemeal bread with pulses or low fat cottage cheese, fish and salad!.
Dinner: Salmon with brown rice and veg

And i snack on nuts and seeds and fruit!. I also exercise 4-5 times a week at my gym!.

I love to be healthy so it's no problem for me but every now and then i crave something sweet!. So i was wondering, would it be healthy for me to have say a square of dark chocolate every night!? Just one little square!? Would that be ok!?

Just wanted to get your opinion!.

lol thanks

Oh my gosh,I wish I had your willpower!!.
It would actually be beneficial I believe!.
Apparently the higher the cocoa percentage - the higher the antioxidant power!. That,along with the release of seratonin (feel good stuff) and your satisfied craving can only be a good thing - indulge! lol!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

From your dietary food a day, it's no problem to have a square chocolate at night!.
