Will I gain weight eating entire container of ice cream?

So although I understand that it's all about calories in vs calories out. I only gain weight if I eat more than my maintenance cal. The entire container of Haagen Dazs green tea ice cream is 250cal per serving, 1 container has got 4 servings so I'll be eating a 1000cal which is within my maintenance cal, so does this really means that I will not gain weight? Have anyone tried? I am only eating the entire container of ice cream because I can't really figure how much is a serving of the ice cream, so as some suggested I am gonna eat the entire thing so that at least I know for sure I have eaten 1000cal. Will I really not gain weight?!

Is this a serious question?0

The only reason you're eating an entire container because you can't determine the serving size? :huh:0

Hey...I thought it was a good excuse lol0

Have you seen what happened to your last thread?
Can you not find the net weight and divide by serves? Or just cut out a quarter...or something? It's really not that hard.
If you have roughly a quarter each time, it'll average out.
You'd be better off sticking to your macros, which you may be able to do eating the whole tub anyway but you won't get fat from eating the tub...you may get a stomachache, starve the rest of the day, and never want to eat icecream again. Don't just eat a whole tub of icecream because you can't be bothered working it out!0 -

No, you won't gain weight if you don't eat over your calories for the day. Your macros will be screwed up though and that's what determines your body composition (how much fat you have). You can be at your goal weight and be the same or higher body fat % than you were when you started.0

^^THIS!!!
eloquently stated. Literally exactly what I was thinking!0 -

I thought the same thing!
OP--if you can't figure out how much a serving is, does that mean you eat entire packages of food? Cheese, meat, vegetables, etc?!?! Seems like a terrible idea.0 -
I looked at the OP's profile, she has a weightloss goal of 1 lb, no friends...do we perhaps...have a troll on our hands?0

I know several people who eat ice cream a pint at a time. It's not a problem at all, as long as it's more along the lines of a pint a week, and not a pint a day.0

Absolutely! There is something I want to say, but nothing logical pops up in the brains

Lol I am pretty sure if you eat the whole container/package of everything you'll gain weight.0

damn. i guess i've been doing it wrong. :ohwell:I know several people who eat ice cream a pint at a time. It's not a problem at all, as long as it's more along the lines of a pint a week, and not a pint a day.0 -
I believe I don't a goal to loss 1 lbs... Okay, so I weight the entire container of ice cream in clouding the container? Cause it's quite impossible to dig everything out, then I divide by 4 so I will eat only a serving...0
-
Okay well, the easy way to do this is to do the math.
One container is a pint - that's two cups (16 ounces).
So if there are four servings, that means each serving is a 1/2 cup (four ounces).
So just measure out a half cup and there's your serving.1 -
All this...math and...stuff0

No, not including the container. And no, it's not impossible to get the whole lot out of the container to weigh it, if you're that desperate to weigh it.
Knife. Cut in to 4. Spoon out 1/4. Done.0 -
I know, it's so much easier to just eat the whole thing and call it done. 0
-
I think the bigger question here is just HOW long have you had this container of ice cream? I keep visualizing the OP approaching the freezer with a spoon and then backing away, hour after hour, day after day....
Well, I haven't opened it yet because I'm figuring out how much to eat~0 -

How do you measure those?0 -
Did you not bother to search the database?
There are plenty of entries for haagen dazs green tea icecream, 250cals....102g.
Perhaps check there next time before starting world war 3, and potentially 4!0
