    There's Enlightened which is equally priced. Or you can maybe catch a sale.

    Not sure where in the world you are, but I like Edy's slow churned. Most of the flavors are around 120 cals per serving and taste good to me at least. I like Skinny Cow, but it's usually as expensive as HT. I also like the store brand sherberts and fudgsicles when I'm in the mood for them, usually fairly low-cal. Honestly though, if you're looking for "low calorie" it's going to be some combo of not tasting like ice cream and/or being expensive.

    If you like HT, they seem to be making a serious push into new markets right now so keep an eye out for sales.

    Personally, I'm fine eating a measured portion of Edy's most days, and fitting in 230 calories of gelato once a week, but I know that doesn't work for everyone!

    Just plan for the kind you like every day. Then if you don't eat it at least you didn't go over.

    ENLIGHTENED, Arctic Zero and Halo Top (Arctic Zero is the cheapest, can be found at Wal-Mart), but Halo Top taste better.

    Seconding Edy's (may be Dreyer's in your area) Slow Churned. 100-130 calories for a serving.

    She said 'tasty' - that leaves Arctic Zero out, IMO. Tastes like weakly flavored ice chips. I just bite the bullet and pay the price for Halo Top or Enlightened.

    Alternately, there are brands like Skinny Cow which make some fairly low-cal ice cream treats that don't taste bad.

    I've been on an ice cream sandwich kick lately. Anywhere from 120-170 calories. Best of both worlds, ice cream AND cookies in one package. The triple chocolate Market Pantry ones from Target are my top choice right now. Also like Edy's/Bryer's slow churned. I've tried three different flavors of Halo Top and that stuff just isn't ice cream. I can leave it out for 30 mins and it's still not creamy.

    I saw some no sugar added at Walmart. It was only 70 cals. I was like... this can't taste good, lol

    I forgot the brand...

    We made icecream by hand in food chem - no fancy churner. Ate it, and compared it to store bought varieties, including lower cal options. On comparison, I'd pick a smaller amount of good quality icecream over the cheap, low calorie stuff....

    LOL, guess it's personal preference... some of the Arctic Zero flavors don't taste much like ice cream you're right, but some are actually decent like the cookie dough chip is pretty darn good given what it is...etc. then again, im deprived so i enjoy any food i get to eat. id say to the OP, at least try Arctic Zero and see for yourself.

    I agree that the Edy's slow churned is satisfying and pretty tasty. I like vanilla bean, so that helps me to stay lower calorie. Sometimes the grocery store will have their tiny containers 10 for $10, so that is a good time to stock up. It also helps me that they are already portioned out.

    I like most Halo Top flavors, but I think Enlightened has a great butter pecan (so creamy! lol). Another suggestion is Dove miniature bars. They are individually wrapped, and one piece is 70 calories. Sometimes one treat can satisfy a craving, or you could eat several depending on your calorie allotment. Again, I like that they are all packaged individually. That helps me with portion control.

    I've had HT and enjoyed their taste, I'll definitely check out the others you listed. I hope Arctic Zero have some decent flavors to select from. Thanks for sharing!

    I only eat ice cream if it comes from a Mr Whippy that I have chased down like a cheetah. Then I get the classic 99 flake.
