    Truthfully, the most accurate way is to scoop out the ice cream into a big bowl, let it melt, then measure out the correct portion in liquid form. Then just refreeze and enjoy!

    I think what the OP is missing is that it's not physiologically relevant whether she is eating 0.5333 cups or 0.49777 cups of ice cream. Calories in cannot be determined that accurately, and calories out cannot be determined anywhere near that accurately. Whether you tamp it down into the cup or not is well within the margin of error we all live with daily and is not worth stressing out about. Especially on Christmas!

    Your seriousness is destroying the entertainment value of this absurd thread for me. :drinker:

    The calories in, calories myth is just that -- a myth. If you want to stuff yourself, do it with spinach or something you enjoy that's actually good for you. Will you gain weight? You may and you may not. You have to eat 3500 calories to gain a pound if you believe in calorie math. But the "real" question is, why over indulge in something bad for you instead of quality food?

    You can make healthy ice cream. But ice cream is to be enjoyed sparingly. If you're just pigging out this one time, it won't kill you and you probably won't gain weight. But if you do it often, that's another story.

    By the book, "The Calorie Myth."

    What exactly is unhealthy (as in bad for you) about ice cream pray tell.

    Now, if you're spooning it into bowls, and they notice one kid appears to be getting more than they are.... THEN, you got trouble.

    Some of you people are so predatory, and yet you all were (or still are) out of shape and struggling with calories in v. calories out. No need to attack the OP for being less-than-elegant with her grammar and communication skills.


    Just estimate as best you can when you can't get an exact number. That is all you can really do. There is no use in stressing too much over it.

    Everyone who eats ice cream dies, therefore ice cream kills you

    everyone who breathes dies, therefore breathing kills you. lets all stop doing that, shall we?

    Predatory? No. Jaded. Maybe.

    Try talking to SteveO for several rounds and see how patient YOU are. The OP got her questions answered pretty quickly. The number of trolls on this site are why we can't have nice things.

    No, the container itself is probably made of some type of thin cardboard so you s/b ok. Eat the whole thing and enjoy, just remember to dump out the ice cream first!!

    I've been dealing with trolls on the internet for much of my life. This OP isn't a troll, just very bad at communicating and understanding.

    It is confusing I know. But all you have to do is remember that water helps you to convert fat cells into muscle cells and you'll get over the negative effects of water.

    water is pretty much magical fairy dust...

    I find it suspicious that the OP was given the exact way to figure a serving size in grams and she skipped over it several times. I even did the math for her. If she wanted an answer she's got a funny way of showing it.

    Good suggestion - The fiber in the cardboard will help negate the sugar, and will probably help you feel full longer so you won't need to eat anything else for the rest of the day.

    Yup. In fact, she suspiciously abandoned this thread, and has no gone off (presumably) to ask questions of a group dealing with small people trying to maintain. OK...
