    Honestly, I eat Ice Cream like I drink water and it's not really had an effect....my wife and I go to UDF damn near every other day and I get a scoop of Ice Cream (whatever kind) in a waffle cone.

    Check out Arctic Zero. It's not technically ice cream, but if you're watching calories and want to lose weight, it's the way to go.

    I'm lactose intolerant - I LOVE coconut milk ice cream! There are some chocolate-dipped bars that are out of this world.* Health food stores usually carry them, and some regular-type grocery stores as well.







    *Do not attempt if you don't like coconut.

    Turkey Hill Light Vanilla is 100 cal / half-cup and is excellent. I avoid the sugar-free ice creams, even thought the calorie counts are lower, because they have all sorts of nasty crap in there.

    I found skinny cow. A container is like 150 calories and it's just enough. Homemade would be the other option too, that's already been suggested. That way you can control the ingreedients. Another post from a few weeks ago someone suggested Artic Zero, but I've yet to find it around my area. I even visited the store that supposedly carried it according to their web site.

    Arctic Zero. 150 cals per PINT!

    The texture is a little off, but it'll do the job.

    Get any kind that has an ingredients list you can actually pronounce and know what they are. And then enjoy it in a proper portion size, no regrets or worries. Ice cream will never be a health food but a little bit of every kind of REAL food in moderation is ok! When the ingredients start looking like lists of chemicals and artificial crap, steer clear!

    It's actually kind of difficult to make decent home made ice cream without moderate amounts of fat to keep the ice crystals from getting too big. I've tried various combinations for years and can't get anything decent without at least 1/2 half-and-half to milk or a custard base which just adds fat. You can make a decent dessert by making sugar free pudding with twice the recommended milk, letting it set the running that through the ice cream maker. It's not quite ice cream, but it's pretty good.

    As for store-bought, maybe it's just me, but I think Skinny Cow tastes like sawdust mixed with cocoa and the texture is all slimy from the excess of carageenan that they include in an attempt to make it "smooth."

    I really, really like Breyer's Smooth and Dreamy. My favorite is the Dark Chocolate Velvet, but all the flavors I've tried are pretty good. It also quite natural, which skinny Cow is not. It doesn't even have HFCS if you care about that, just regular corn syrup.
