Okay, I have joined the group! Not sure I can commit to the Spring Cleanse, cos a) it's Autumn
, and b) I have a couple of busy weeks of stuff that I need to bank any spare calories for, so fitting gelato in every day would be a stretch ![:\](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
.
But is it wrong that I planned a gelato crawl (like a pub crawl, but with gelato) in my head tonight? I can think of 8 places off the top of my head within walking distance of my house that I can get little cups or cones of gelato. One is in completely the other direction of all the others, but hey, exercise! Then there's two cinemas and two pizzerias that do single serves also within walking distance. And then four supermarkets that sell litre tubs...
I mean, I wouldn't actually do it, but a girl can dream, right??0 -

Trust me, I did do the calculation on just how many I could visit in one day and not be over (taking into account the cals burnt with the walking of course, but that really only allowed for one more stop at best, unless I include the outlier in the wrong direction).0 -
Can I ask you guys...How often do you eat only one serving of ice cream/gelato? My minimum is 1.5 servings.0

Never, but my cals are high

Pretty much always. Even if I have enough calories for more than that I'd rather have gelato and a couple of cookies or something else.0 -

Yeah, I actually planned for some toast and peanut butter as well and only one serving of gelato tonight.0 -

It happens! Or I count grams to make it fit in my day...0 -

It's usually not worth it to me if I can only have one serving, haha. I usually eat 1.5 servings - that seems like enough to satisfy me. Two servings is even better, if I have the calories.0 -

It depends on how many calories I have left and what I'm eating. If it's Edy's Slow Churned, that's usually 2 servings (200-260 calories total). Gelato and other ice creams, usually 1-1.5, and Ben & Jerry's/Graeter's I stick to one serving because of the higher calorie amount.0 -
Has anyone tried an ice cream of the month club? Or even just having an order of ice cream shipped to their house? I don't have a ton of options at my local stores and was wondering how ice cream holds up via Fedex/UPS.0

If they package it with dry ice it should be okay, but I don't remember how long dry ice lasts.
I would totally be down for an ice cream of the month club0 -

Yes I've had Jeni's delivered 3 times now, they pack it in dry ice and it's been fine.0 -

Most nights it's just 1 serving, if I have extra room I like something different normally, cookies, cupcakes, etc. Or I have a serving early and a different kind later.0 -

When cutting I often have less than one full serving. But then I like to keep a little room for wine or beer with dinner and maybe some tequila to sip after dinner.

Lol Ben and jerrys is not very calorie friendly. I'll eat 1 or two servings nightly.0 -

That's a good point too-- I usually have 2 servings if it's Edy's slow-churned too. I've just gotten to be such a snob that I don't have any of that around. :laugh:0 -

Pretty much this unless it's jeni's because 2 servings would be $5-7...0 -

Yeah, you're right. It's easier to fit in two servings of Edy's or Breyers, which is why I get them sometimes. I'm getting 1 and 1/3 servings of Talenti tonight. Stoked.
I was just curious because it seems like I have trouble with that one serving moderation, but I do plan my day around a bit more than a serving. As the day progresses and I feel like I need more food or want to hit my macros better, I'll subtract from the gelato...Not always though
