    Everyday is OK in my book.

    JK. A few scoops is going to set you back about 200-300 calories. Not too bad, just gotta make sure you do extra cardio tonight lol.

    If ice cream causes you to experience explosive diarrhea, probably better to decline.

    Otherwise, ice cream is a food with calorie/macro values. Track and make an informed choice.

    Having some homemade ice cream tonight. Go for it because it isn't what you eat but how much.

    I say go for it. don't over do it a half a cup would be fine. you could also see if your friend doesn't mind doing frozen lowfat yogurt. I find it helps me stay on track with my diet if I splurge one day a week. it helps keep those nasty cravings down.

    I eat it every day: a half cup of the lower-fat variety. Be sure to watch your portion size and all should be well.

    Learn what a serving looks like, and eyeball accordingly. 1/2 a cup is the volume of a tennis ball (I actually verified this by dunking my dog's tennis ball in water, Archimedes-style).

    if by "once in awhile" you mean before bed every night, then yes.

    I go by the : everything in moderation policy.

    If you deprive yourself of tasty, delicious treats constantly... your willpower will eventually fade and (if you're anything like me) you will soon find yourself demolishing an entire quart of mint chocolate chip icecream in one sitting.

    Eat the icecream! Enjoy it... just remember to try and eat healty the rest of the day. :smile:

    Ice cream is okay once in a while or pretty much anytime you have the extra calories for it :)

    I usually have 3/4 cup of light ice cream a couple times a week

    Yes, yes, yes... If i have learned anything it is don't deny yourself, just don't over indulge. I have lost 98lbs and I have continued to eat ice cream, m&m's, pie and cake, just now i get a piece () and not a piece ( ).

    Buy your self an ice cream maker (£25ish) then buy the large tubs of fat free fruit or vanilla yogurt. A fraction of the cost with non of the fat. Try to choose ones with a low sugar content too. It really is good.

    I eat a serving or so almost every day even when dieting strictly. It keeps me sane and on my diet.

    Oh yes, I have ice cream with my family once every few weeks when we go to the city! Just work it in to your calories and macros for the day and you'll be fine. The occasional treat is good for you, when you don't deprive yourself it's easier to stay on track!
