OMG! Am I late to the party? I just had my first Rebel ice cream! Mint Chip! Loved it! But I can’t seem to find it on My Fitness Pal? How can I add the nutrient information? Thank you all!

    You go into the My Foods tab of the diary and create a new food, entering the label information.

    I’ve found the cookies and cream and the cookie dough entries already in the database. I’ve not had the mint chip yet!

    I just noticed Rebel's arrival in my local supermarkets - a genuine revelation.

    I had to smile at, "Yummy things come to those who wait." It's been since I started LC in 2015 that I had a little bowl of ice cream - and well worth the wait!

    Mint chip has the lowest carb count - 4g per *pint*!

    I tried it (cookie dough), I didn't really care for it....it seemed grainy and not creamy like I expect ice cream to be

    Watch the carb counts on the front of the containers - I have found them to be off on some varieties!

    I'll guess it is the old "Do I Count Sugar Alcohols?" discussion and/or rounding of numbers. Here's a good depiction of numbers:

    Maybe it's a personal thing. I don't spike from erythritol (or stevia), though others have reported the opposite.

    I did see that monk fruit is listed further down the ingredient list, and I've always tried to avoid it. Hmm.

    I don't trust any ice cream on the shelf. Best investment I ever made was an ice cream maker at the thrift store for $10.

    Is it any better than Halo Top or Enlightened? My biggest issue is its almost 800 calories a container and from what i can see, its practically halo top with MCT oil.
