Okay...I know it's just a matter of time before someone can explain this to the blondes among us...!

Doubling your chocolate number and multiplying by 50 gives you your number in hundreds, ie the first digit in a 3 digit number. The other term in the puzzle is 5 times 50, or 250, added to 1755 gets you 2005 (!!!) and subracting the year you were born gets you uh, drum roll, your age, of course.
