If I eat it, I weigh it9

Yes by grams.2

If it's not a liquid and I'm eating it, it gets weighed. Liquids get the measuring cup. Only liquids in the measuring cup. So to answer your question, Yes, I weigh ice cream.
Edit to add: In grams. (I keep forgetting that weighing in grams isn't second nature to everyone dieting.)4 -
Yep. Grams, too.2
-
I was pleasantly surprised to find calories of the weighed version was lower than the calories in the spoonfuls I'd been using! Calorie savings!!!

Yep, absolutely, in grams.1

Yes. Ice cream with lots of air whipped in is going to be lighter in calories. Not all ice creams are the same in this regard. Measuring cups just don't capture this.2

Exactly. In the US, cheap ice cream with air whipped into it weighs between 65 to 80g per half cup, the "suggested" serving size. Premium ice cream weighs between 95 to 105g per half cup.2 -
About 4 times a day.4

Ice cream is one of the few foods that I always weigh. It can be very calorie dense, so little errors can mean a big difference in calories.3

I weigh...and then I get sad because my fatass wants more than I'm allowed.6
-
Yes, of course. And my yogurt and everything.0
-
No because I only ever eat the whole tub (now I'll wait for someone to tell me that serving sizes can vary by up to 20%).2
-
Yes.
But like trigden, not if it is a set serving size - eg I buy a box of individually wrapped ice cream squares and I take them to be the weight the package says they are - or if not, that it will average out.
But I do that with all packaged items - contrary to MFP popular advice of weighing them to see if they are more or less than they say they are0 -

And why exactly are you offering this advice? Ice cream is perfectly fine to eat while reducing your calorie intake. And they didn't ask whether or not they should eat it, they just asked if we weigh it.2 -
Of course. Ice cream volume varies by how much air is whipped into it. Even using the box volumes, it the same ice cream could settle differently after each use and won't always be precisely the same. I actually weigh all my food items regardless, even liquids.2

Why? the OP obviously want to eat Ice cream as they are asking the questions. If they weigh accurately and stick to their calories they will still hit their goals.
