Is it ok to eat chocolate everyday? Will i lose weight this way?

I am on a diet, and pretty much eat all healthy foods. For breakfast i have an apple, for lunch i have a tuna fish sandwich on whole wheat bread, and i use Miracle whip over mayo, for a snack i usually have a banana and a granola bar, then for dinner i have different things, but there all usually pretty healthy. I only eat 1300-1500 calories a day, and i exercise for an hour 4 days a week, of which i run for as long as i can then walk to catch my breath, i do this for an hour. So, to my other main question, a lot of people say i should only eat chocolate like twice a week, but i was wondering if its ok to eat it everyday, as long as its only a little bit, and as long as i still stay within my calorie limit and the rest of the foods i eat are healthy? cause my mom lost like 90 pounds and she eats chocolate every single day and still stays thin. Will i still lose weight?

Enjoy your chocolate but keep it within your calorie count and in small amounts. Don't give up foods that provide nutrients to save calories for chocolate.

Your weight loss plan and your exercise sound good!

About that Miracle Whip--I'm a big fan too, but it's as bad as mayo for a diet unless you're using "light" or "fat free". Good luck!!

Art Of Eating $9.98 The Art of Eating …only wise men know the art of eating. —Brillat-Savarin There is a communion of more than bodies when bread is broken and wine is drunk. And that is my answer when people ask me, Why do you write about hunger, and not wars or love? So M. F. K. Fisher begins The Gastronomical Me, one of the five memorable volumes collected together here in The Art of Eating. The five books cover an eclectic array of thoughts, memories, and recipes, from World War I vignettes of frugality at the table to a consideration of the social status of vegetables. Her recipes range from those for all manner of oysters, dressed and undressed, to Cold Buttermilk Soup, and are accompanied by the remarks and observations that provoked W. H. Auden to say, I do not know of anyone in the United States today who writes better prose. M. F. K. Fisher evokes the magic that shimmers just beneath the surface of the most commonplace, everyday experiences in prose you can wrap around your soul. —Richard Sax, Chocolatier M. F. K. Fisher is one of the best food writers. She makes you laugh, tells you stories, intrigues your mind, gives you an appetite, takes you on her travels. She is witty, wise, and unpretentious. —Jane Grigson One of the world's finest food writers and, in the eyes of many, the grand dame of gastronomy…M. F. K. Fisher has remained our guiding light, the source of infinite gastronomic and philosophic wisdom, the model of what a truly refined food writer should strive for. —James Villas, Bon Appétit

Eating Crow $16.1 In this hilarious novel of food, loathing, and regret, a restaurant critic attempts to redeem himself after a chef commits suicide, presumably due to a rather unsavory review. Marc Basset has a reputation as a pitiless restaurant critic. When he writes a devastating review of a celebrated restaurant, the chef commits suicide, roasting himself in his own fan-assisted oven, with Basset's review pasted to the door. Suddenly Basset is moved to do something he has never doe before: apologize. Startled by the widow's forgiveness and absolution, he feels unexpectedly euphoric. He decides to gorge himself on contrition by apologizing to every person he has ever wronged in his entire life. After a series of virtuoso expressions of regret, word of Basset's mollifying power spreads, and he is invited to become Chief Apologist for the United Nations. His job is to travel the globe in his own Gulfstream V private jet, apologizing for everything from colonialism through exploitation to slavery. It is a role that brings him fame, wealth, and access to a lot of very good chocolate. But in a world overdosing on emotion, does Marc Basset really have the stomach to be the sorriest man in history? Built of delicate layers of heinous crime, forgiveness, and outrageous gluttony, this new novel is a black comedy of modern appetite and etiquette.
