OK- so I have gotten into a habit of eating low sugar gluten free ice cream for my snack at night. I save about 300 calories just so I can indulge in the rich, cold, creaminess! I really feel guilty about eating this even though it is within my caloric intake. What are your thoughts on saving calories so you can enjoy a daily treat?

    I'm not sure low sugar gf "ice cream" qualifies as ice cream

    If I'm going to save calories, I'm going to set aside only half of that 300 and eat some fully-sugared, fully-glutened ice cream!!

    Are you cutting those things out for a real reason or do you just think that sugar and gluten are bad for you?

    And yes, I indulge in ice cream often!

    I'm still trying to figure out how ice cream would have gluten. But, if this ice cream treat keeps you on track, why feel guilty?

    I work wine into most of my days and never feel guilty about that.

    Ate an entire pint of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia last night after 8PM and lost 1.4lbs overnight.

    Good for you?

    I eat things I "shouldn't" all the time, infact the other night I ate a chocolate bar, I used to eat Ice Cream all the time but then my brother moved in and no I never get any because he eats it all.

    If it's within your calorie plan and you're still getting your daily nutritional needs met, what's to feel guilty about?

    It's totally fine to enjoy a treat once a day if you have the calories for it.

    I just recently started eating health choice frozen greek yogurt, it is super creamy and a great treat when you are in the mood for something cold and sweet, it comes in individual servings (100 calories) which I really like because it keeps me from overindulgeing

    If I have room, I eat what I want. If I don't, sometimes I still eat what I want, and adjust the next day.

    I tend to look at my calorie consumption over a few days as opposed to on a daily basis. :)

    I'm still trying to figure out how ice cream would have gluten.

    It's often used as a binding ingredient.

    OP, go for it! Moderation is key and sounds like you've got that part down so why not!

    Don't feel guilty about it! Be proud that you have found a way to enjoy food and keep your calories at a reasonable level. I had a Diet Dr. Pepper float just the other day. No regrets!

    1) I would be more concerned about the guilt than the ice cream.
    2) My thoughts are that if you can find a way to -

    a) Hit your calorie and macronutrient goals regularly
    b) Eat mostly whole and nutrient dense foods
    c) Also eat a treat every day, such as ice cream

    - then you are doing it right. I expect you to make great progress.

    EDIT: I eat ice cream almost every day. I am losing fat, my health markers are great.

    If you're going to save up 300 calories, then have actual real ice cream.

    Does ice cream have wheat products in it? I am confused?
