Will I gain weight eating entire container of ice cream?

wild_wild_life

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

damn. i guess i've been doing it wrong. :ohwell:

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:

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

1000 cals is your maintenance goal….sayyyyy whhaaaatttt???

whoops..mis read..1000 is within maintenance my bad…

OP one serving is a quarter cup …just put some ice cream in a quarter cup and proceed to eat….

if 1000 is below maintenance then you won't gain…

if this is a serious thread, then my name is Santa Claus…but hey, it is christmas!

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...

whaaaaaat? LOL…

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

Do i press the ice cream down or not?

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?

OP cuts the box into fourths ….

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!

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.

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