Mousse, chocolate, low fat

Low fat chocolate mousse is an aerated, milk-based dessert. It mainly provides carbohydrate, including sugars, alongside protein and some fat. Per 100g, it contains 18g of carbohydrate, of which 16g is sugars, 5.5g of protein and 3.7g of fat. It also supplies minerals, including calcium and iodine.

Protein contributes to the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth. Iodine is needed to make thyroid hormones. The low fat description does not mean the mousse is low in sugars, and it still contains saturated fat. These are relevant considerations for people monitoring their intake.
