Today is my younger sisters birthday and there is going to be a vanilla ice cream cake from dairy queen. I have no idea how many calories are in it, anyone have an idea?

    DQ probably gives the nutrition info for their cakes on their website.

    When I know I have places to go where I may be tempted I eat lite early in the day get my exercise in and indulge a little because it is part of life and if you know your going to be tempted just have a small piece and move on, Good Luck and enjoy!

    I had some last weekend it was so good. I made sure i had calories available for it though. Take a thin slice and enjoy, if you know you will not go back for more.

    I think you should have a slice and enjoy every bite of it!

    Personally, I don't think a slice of DQ ice cream cake is that unreasonable of an indulgence. For the vanilla cakes, a slice ranges in calories from 142-213 calories (depending on the size of the whole cake). I can easily fit a treat like that into my calorie goal.

    You can see the complete nutritional info here: http://www.dairyqueen.com/resources/-007/4830/3231/2011USDQTreatNutritionBrochure.pdf

    Put Dairy Queen ice cream cake in and it will give you the calorie intake for a slice. Which is a lot. However, just exercise it off. Get on your exercise bike or walk for 45 minutes. That should take care of that.

    We get them all the time but we get 12 to 15 pieces from it. You dont need to take 1/8 of the cake.

    At least it's not a blizzard cake... THOSE are riDQulous!

    But, enjoy yourself. :) You can exercise it off afterward. :flowerforyou:

    500 calories for 1/10th of a 10inch cake, vanilla. I'd look up t he exact cake you are having at the link above, and realize this will be at lest 1/3rd of your daily calories if you do not exercise.

    OK - let's be relistic... there aren't very many people that can avoid all things that are bad for us in one way or another "like the plague". A slice of cake will not de-rail anything... Moderation is the key. You aren't going to completely un-do all of the good things you've been doing with a single piece of birthday cake. Have your cake - enjoy the hell out of it... Just don't enjoy the cake every day, and you'll be fine!

    I look at it like I'm a bank: I exercise so I can make a deposit into my calorie account and make withdrawals later when I need them for situations such as this! Life is always going to happen...you should be able to have a slice of ice cream cake, a couple of drinks with friends, that order of french fries, etc. every once in a while. Just make that calorie deposit so you can cover the withdrawal!
