How many calories are in 25 chocolate chips, semi-sweet?

Sometimes I just need a sweet...and these fit the bill, but I don't know how muc h they are.

do you own a food scale? if not, i suggest you maybe invest in one. that way, you could weigh out your chocolate chips and know exactly how many calories you're eating.

sometimes i will just steal a few chocolate chips out of the trail mix:) well anyways, i wanted to log them so i measured how many were in a tbsp. n got about 18 which has 70 calories.  so i would say about 100 calories.

Sniff...that's so "expensive" for calories. Boo hoo. Hey!!! Does anyone have any good low-cal chocolate cravy sweet suggestions??? Love to hear them!

chocolate vitamuffins/vitatops!!!  they are fantastic =)

I just got out my trusty measuring spoons and scale and the bag of chocolate chips I keep for baking and I counted them out individually. One tablespoon easily held 30 toll house baking morsels, and when I took them out of the spoon and put them on the scale they weighed exactly half an ounce. So either your chocolate chips are twice as big as mine, or you're seriously over-estimating their calorific value.

Chocolate chips are actually very low in calories because they're so small - just don't scarf them down by the handful! They're a great way to get just a taste of chocolate... I find 1/4 cup fiber one is made palatable by as few as 15 chocolate chips, which is one per mouthful.

(of course, if you're talking about the big round flat 'buttons' for melting, all bets are off!)

Super, that's good news...so what did the cal work out to be, kajikit? For one TB?

They're in the database... look it up! I don't worry about little amounts of 'treat' calories like that because I'm only having one a day. They come under the heading of 'discretionary chocolate' lol! It's less than 100 calories a tablespoon though.

Thanks Kajikit, so much! Lol, discretionary chocolate, what's that mean? :) I have no discretion when it comes to chocolate, especially dark chocolate.
