How to measure calories of Haagen Dazs ice cream?

I want to eat the Haagen Dazs green tea ice cream, then I realised that the nutrition fact given is in ml... How am I suppose to count the calories that way? Should I use total use the total weight in gram of ice cream (stated on the container) and divide it by total ml?? Omg. Why can't they give the serving size in gram?! Please help!!!
But I've read in some articles which says that per serving of Haagen Dazs green tea ice cream is 102 gram 250cal, can I trust that and weight 102g of my ice cream?

You are going to eat the whole container, right? And you know how many calories in the whole container, right?
Just divide the total calories by the number of days it takes to eat the container, it'll be more than close enough.0 -
All the other flavors list 106g as their serving size. I would go with that, and create my own food to reflect the green tea flavor.0

depending on the flavor, there are 300 calories in 1/2 cup. Chocolate Chocolate Chip has the 300.....0

It's a 1:1 conversion. 1ml = 1 gr.
102 grams would be 102 ml.0 -
just eat the entire package and log what's on the back of the container0

102 grams would be 102 ml.
The conversion works for water and most fluids but not for ice cream. They whip air into it so often 50g are about 100ml.
I would thing 250cals in 100g is about right.0 -
Okay I shall weight 100g of the ice cream and take it as 250cal thanks for helping out!!0

Does the nutritional info say how many serves per container? Can you work out the weight of each "serve" that way?0

The website says 1/2 cup is 250cals. If the container states it's 1L, that'd be 8 serves, or 10 if a serve is 100ml. You could weigh the icecream and divide by the number of serves0 -
This is why you can never eat Haagen Dazs . . .0

Ice cream in Canada is always labeled in mLs. It's a pain in the *kitten*. I weigh the whole tub, and I know how much the tub itself weighs, so subtract that amount, then figure out the cals etc. /100g (you figure out the total cals from the info provided and then do the math). It's annoying but if you create a My Foods for it, you only have to do it once per flavor.0 -

Do they come in standard size tubs? In the US they are always a pint and have 4 servings per tub.0 -

Not sure about Hagan Daas, but most brands come in plastic tubs or boxes; 2L of ice cream. Standard plastic tub is 75g, box is close. A serving is usually 125 mL, so 16 servings. A little pint like that I'd just eyeball my 4 servings, but bigger tub is harder, plus I have to share mine Easier if I can just log a g-based serving of whatever size I want0 -

I think you're joking, but just in case: [grams consumed] / [grams in serving] = % of serving consumed. And the computer, phone, or other device you're using to access the Internet almost certainly has a calculator app0 -

Well yes, I understand how to go about that part :laugh: I just meant that you needed to DO that step. lol0 -

Nutritional data for Canada here (using Vanilla as an example):

Nutritional data for the US here:

Interestingly they are slightly different even though they both have 1/2 cup as a serving size. The Canadian one has 1g of each macro more and 20 calories more, which would lead me to believe that a tub of HD in Canada is a tad bigger than in the US. [It is a similar story for other flavors as well].
Serving size is 106g in the US - so in Canada, if its a bit bigger (by about 8%), then a serving there is 114g.
Yes....I am that sad that I just did that calculation!0 -
