    Default Never eat ice cream out of the carton


    So I'm gorging on a freshly opened carton of chocolate fudge brownie this afternoon and get hooked into some program on TV. The minutes go by and I keep on eating away when at a commercial break, my eyes just happen to get a glimpse of the 'Nutritional Information' label. Who writes those things anyway?.

    Calories per serving: 140
    Servings per container: 16


    I look into the carton and see almost a third of it is gone, in one sitting.

    Mind you, I'm not exactly the "super size me" type. I in fact, take pride in my usually reliant "food craving shut off reflex" which often hits quite early and makes buffet dining impractical. Something in that ice cream overcame my defenses. I blame the brownies.

    Next time, I'm gonna scoop it into a bowl. That way I only eat 2-3 servings worth.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I have damned near 700 calories to walk off.

    When the glorious day arrives that they make a "Low-calorie Yet Kick-ass" bourbon that is also loaded with vitamins and proetein, I'm going to be all over it.

    ^^ Isn't that just depressing? I'll be sitting there happily muching away and all of a sudden... damn, half the container is gone!

    I'm seriously the worst eater ever.... I could gorge myself to death on junk food. No idea how I'm still thin.

    I swear, it really does. The only way I can limit my ice cream consumption is to get the ice cream bars. Otheriwse, I'm hitting the bottom of the carton 20 minutes after opening.

    This thread brings up a valid & relevant point for people like dancers, who have to watch their figure: the human brain registers satiation very quickly after the commencement of eating. With rich foods like ice cream, the experience is mostly a gustatory event....after those first few bites.

    So, to indulge & not get fat, you have to limit your portion & savor it, or buy low-calorie versions of ice cream.

    That's what the single serving size cartons of Ben & Jerry's are for! I can sit down and eat the entire carton of Cherry Garcia, plus they come with cute little spoons. At a dollar a piece, they are an easy way to cut back on an ice cream habit.

    Damn, now I'm hungry for ice cream.

    Yeah, they usually make the serving sizes really small on junk food. I'll look on a carton of ice cream or box of cookies and think "160 calories, that's not so bad." But then there are 20 servings in the box. Scooping it out into a bowl is the best thing to do, because sometimes I won't even be hungry anymore, but I'll be mindlessly eating it in front of the TV. Before I know it, half the container's gone.

    And chocolate fudge brownie ice cream sounds so good right about now.

    Edy's makes a slow churn version, if that helps.

    Yep, exactly! I keep a pint of Ben & Jerry's in the freezer sometimes and it lasts me a couple of months. When I want some ice cream, two or three spoonfuls is enough to make me feel like I've had a treat. The trick is to make your treats very high-quality; go for the rich flavors, real sugar, and full fat so that two or three bites will satisfy you. And take the time to really savor it!

    Americans tend to go for quantity over quality because we have so much cheap shit; it doesn't satisfy as quickly as the good stuff, so we tend to eat more of it. You'll go through a whole pint of Brand X from the 99-Cent Store and not feel satisfied, but three bites of Ben & Jerry's can have you completely sated.

    Jut to back-up rozz, Edy's makes both a light and sugar-free (less calories then light) ice-cream, while it may not have the flavor of Ben and jerry, it gets the job done for me.

    I went out of my way yesterday to find my fav Ben and Jerry's flavor, and eating 3 or 4 spoonfulls really does satisfy my craving. I'd rather do it that way than buying tons of cheap shit and eating a whole tub of it to get my fix.

    Yep. I don't let myself eat out of the carton, bc I'm really bad about binging.. it's so sad.
    But I've discovered fruit popsicles w/ no sugar added, and they satisfy my sweet tooth without being TOO bad for me... i hope.. *runs to check nutritional facts*

    Ah, yes...I have to admit to my sole dietary vice--Trader Joe's Chocolate Bon Bons. I can eat a whole box in about ten minutes. 760 calories.

    I eat Graeter's Rasberry Chocolate Chunk ice cream. They only sell it in pint size though. It's my fave! I only eat it every few months because 1) cost to dam much 2) since it's pure it has alot of calories, sugars, fats in it. But dam it's good!!

    I have ice cream probably less than six times a year because the calories scare me. the low cal/low fat type is good, and i used to like the sugar free stuff. then, sugar alcohols began triggering migraines, so that was out. i like to freeze conventional yogurt...freezing, mixing, defrosting as necessary to get a decent texture. also, i love junior mints and sometimes freeze those..usually takes care of the frozen food fix.
