Hare Krsna Prabhuji,
PAMHO.
Coffee, Tea & Choclates are avoided because of caffiene in them. Devotees use carob powder as a substitute for choclate.

Hare Krishna Prabhu,
Chocolate comes under Rajasik stimulant. It could be avoided. Now a days some companies are making use of eggs to make chocolates too. So, I think it should be avoided.
rest you can read under this forum discussion.

even icecreams which are making use of chocolates are to be avoided. They are having stimulating effect on the mind. Just like cofffe or tea. This quality of chocolate is coming under the rajasik quality of food.
Tamsik foods causes dullness and mind blogging. rajasik foods are mind stimulants. Satvik food just sufficinet to nourish the body.
Especially additives in chocolates Like the eggs, egg white or caffine make it even more worse choice of foods. Hare Krishna
