    Get frozen yogurt or Skinny Cow ice cream. That way you can indulge in your craving but still stay "good"!!

    Go for a walk until you have burnt enough calories to eat the ice-cream and still stay under your calorie target.

    Or put it in a cone and eat it while walking :) Then you don't even have to count it.

    what are you ...some kind of fancy-pants genius? :huh:

    Eat the ice cream. The body digests that really well and obviously if you are craving it, you need something in it. If you are like any other normal person, you will eat this and that hoping the craving will go away and sure enough, you will consume more calories than if you would just have the ice cream. You don't have to eat a gallon, get a baby cone or kid cone. They are a scant scoop and enough to satisfy.

    Maybe you should see if Dr. Oz has a brand of ice cream out. Green coffee ketones swirl, maybe? Then you could be sure it's the best possible option.

    Raspberry green ketone coffee nonfat sugar free ice milk substitute...?

    Do they have a non-dairy version?

    It's fine in moderation. I do feel perhaps you should try and understand why you are craving something, it's usually if we are deficient in a nutrient. Make some kind of healthier icecream so you don't crave sugar even more, freeze a banana (chopped and peeled) for a couple hours and put in blender for a few seconds and serve like icecream.

    This might be in here already but I don't feel like weeding through five pages to find out.

    Firstly, have any darn thing you want in moderation. If it fits your calories (and secondly your macros), go for it! They're yours to fill however you like.

    Secondly, if you'd like to go a healthier route and avoid all the unnecessary sugar, take some frozen banana slices and process them with ~tsp of vanilla extract until ice cream texture. It is sooo good. I'm probably biased because banana was my favorite flavor of ice cream to begin with, but this literally tasted and felt like regular ice cream. It was awesome. I bet it'd be even better with a tiny bit of chocolate chips thrown in.

    ^^^this. But I saw another recipe where you put it in an ice cream maker and add sugar and milk. I heard it tastes a lot better that way.

    2 cups of vanilla ice cream, 1 teaspoon of instant coffee, 24 Blue Diamond cocoa dusted almonds, 3/4 cup of coco puffs. Take 4 tablespoons of peanut butter, melt in the microwave for a few seconds, pour over the bowl, and prepare to stare into the face of God.

    Just over a thousand calories of joy and macros.

    Thanks to MFP today, I am going home from work and I am making garbage-full lasagna followed by ice cream.

    Losing weight is the BEST!

    I say eat the ice cream. You're making me crave some now. But hey, it's ok to have Ice cream every now and then, right?? I ate a big bag of hot cheetos and some sour patch kids this week and I still lost almost 2 pounds this week so you should be fine.
