Ice cream, need help logging!

Hello!

I had some ice cream last night (Cadbury Marvellous Creations Jelly Popping Candy) and weighed my serving as usual (38g). Unfortunately, the nutritional information on the box was per 100ml (217/100ml) - is there rule of thumb to convert? I never measure ice cream in ml it's so much easier to weigh. The product is relatively new so not much information or there

Does the packaging list the total net weight for the ice cream? If so, you could divide that by the number of servings in the package, which is usually listed on the nutritional label (at least in the U.S.) to get the weight of a single serving.

It really depends on the density of the ice cream. The less expensive brands in the US whip air into it, so the same volume of inexpensive brands is less weight than premium brands. The standard US serving size is 1/2 cup volume and the weight ranges from about 65g to 105g depending on density. For comparison, 1/2 US cup of water is 4 oz. (113.5g or ml). I have found that 100g of premium ice cream are about 210 to 240 Calories.

Unfortunately not, only says 500ml and 5 x 100ml servings. I guess its guesstimating then?
