I calculate my choco consumption by pure cocoa powder. (Cocoa Solids, not fat)
Bars have significantly less cocoa solid in them than the straight powder, unless you get a massive bar that's 80% cocoa, you're unlikely to match a cup of hot cocoa that has 10 grams of pure cocoa powder. (2 tablespoons). The best source of maxing your cocoa intake is through the powder, which at most grocery stores will be Hershey's. However, some stores may contain Ghirardelli cocoa powder.
A box of Hershey's contains approx 225 grams. (45 tbsp)
A Standard Cup of Hot Cocoa = 1 tbsp = 5grams
If you have 1/4th the box of Hershey's, you would be having about 10-12 cups of Choco.
How to Calculate your Cocoa from Bars and other sources
These are very rough approximations and for Cocoa Solids Only.
HOT COCOA: 1 tablespoon = 5grams
CHOCOLATE CAKE: many recipes have 30grams per cake, or about 5grams per slice.
CHOCOLATE MILK: it's got very, very little cocoa. Likely 2grams or per cup.
MILK CHOCOLATE BAR: an extra large bar (3.5oz/100g) might have about 7grams
70% DARK CHOCOLATE BAR: an extra large bar (3.5oz/100g) might have about 25grams
I have never had more than 15 cups. (15 tbsp or 75 grams)
There will be a day where I'll drink more than 15. If you have personally gobbled over 15tbsp (75grams) of Cocoa Powder, please comment below.
