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?!

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!
I've just went to double check the nutrition data on the container, it says net weight/ net vol :392g/473ml
4 servings. Serving size: 118ml, 260cal. and not what i found in MFP. OMG.0 -
No, you won't gain weight. No screwing up your macros just once won't cause you any harm. But I imagine it won't leave you a lot of room for other food.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~
What happens with cereal? Or yogurt? Or ANYthing?
I do eat them! Almost daily!
How do you measure those?
The nutrition infos are in grams so I can easily use the digital scale to weight them.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.
I did it this way when I was new but I've learned that fluid ounces don't necessarily translate when you're eating a solid food because different foods have different densities. If I'm eating half a cup of popcorn it won't weigh the same as half a cup of peanut butter.0 -

So a serving is 98 grams. (392/4)
And yes, the info in MFP's database isn't always accurate because it's user-entered. Always double-check.0 -

And so does the ice cream according to your post above. I am not sure why you are having an issue with this.0 -
The ice cream serving (like a serving of fluids) is given in ml, which is a measure of volume. You can convert ml to cups using the google. 118 ml = 0.5 cups. Do you have measuring cups?0

Do I just scoop the ice cream into the cup? or is it only accurate to do that when it's in liquid form?...0 -

Yes, just scoop it frozen. There are 2 cups total in the container and there are 4 servings, so each serving is 0.5 cups which is the equivalent of 118 ml. If ml is a confusing unit of measure, just convert it into cups.0 -

After scooping do that press it down or just leave gaps in between?? I'm really unsure about using measuring cups... I don't normally use it.0 -
Well, I personally average about a pint a day, but it's not a general recommendation I give, because not everyone needs to eat 3000 cals a day. :drinker:
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 -

Or you could look above where I told you it's 98 grams based on the package info you provided.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...

OP - take the whole container and put it on your head..this will determine the amount of calories that go directly to your brain...0 -

yes, take a presser and press it down as hard as you can..this squeezes out the excess calories and you actually will only have 750 calories as opposed to 1000…winning!0 -

Put bowl on scale and zero it.
Empty the entire container into the bowl.
Divide this number by 4 to get how much one serving weighs.
Write this number down so you don't forget it.
Put all of the ice cream back in the container and then weigh out one serving.0 -
Hey...I thought it was a good excuse lol

Just for the record... My response, while mathematically sound, was not a serious recommendation to the OP.
