Hi all. Does anyone know how carob stacks up against chocolate in terms of carbs, sugar and fat content?

Yesterday (week 3 day 2 of the Fast 800) in desperation I succumbed to a chocolate craving with a carob bar instead – the nutritional info on the pack (per 100g) was as follows:
Fat, total 43.6g
-saturated 27.2g
Carbohydrates 41.6g
-sugars 33.7g

Per 15g serving this was shown as:
Fat, total 6.5g
-saturated 4.1g
Carbohydrates 6.2g
-sugars 5.1g

I tried google to obtain comparable info for a cadbury’s milk chocolate bar, but without success. I don’t want to tempt myself by getting too close to an actual cadbury’s chocolate bar to find out!

Fifty fifty As my husband gas Cadbury’s the info is
100g
Fat 30.5g
Saturated 18.5g
Carbs 56.5g
Sugars 56g

Per 13.8g 3 chunks
Fat 4.2g
Saturated 2.6g
Carbs 7.8g
Sugars 7.7g

Hope you’re hat helps

Thanks Kathy!
So per 100g the carob has more fat, fewer carbs and less sugar, but probably not enough so to be a good substitute.
Sigh…

Go for dark chocolate (Example below is Tesco 85% Dark) The squares a quite big:-
