Ok, so I take my son to eat some ice cream and to be good I ordered the kids size cup with some chocolate swiss ice cream and they probaby added an ounce or less of pecans. Then I start looking for the calorie count and the calorie king says the serving size of their premium ice cream is a little more than 6oz and at 450 calories!!!!!!! And that is not including the mixing. I am wondering if that serving size is the adult size or the kids size...can anyone help? And here I was thinking I was being good...it is so hard to "be good" when you eat anything outside your house!!! :explode: :noway:

    Oh I was craving Marble Slab soooo bad last night. I don't know the answer to your question, but I'd think of it this way...you made a better choice. Instead of getting the big size, you went for a smaller size and that's good :smile:

    i love ice cream. last night i walked down to baskin robbins with my hubby to get some. 45 min walking a brisk pace helped balance out some of the calories. ice cream is mostly milk fat, thats why its so yummy:love:

    Thankfully I don't really like ice cream. We have a cold stone chain around here (MN) and I am sure that must be the same and even though I don't really like ice cream, I have had their strawberry cheesecake and it was yum yum. Now I just have to remember that I don't really like ice cream!:laugh:

    Ice cream is usually measured in liquid ounces, like your liquid measuring cup. If they say a serving is 6 oz. (actually the marble slab website says a serving is 6.75 oz.net weight so that's closer to 7oz. and they strangely use weight instead but use 'cup' for the frozen yogurt, http://www.marbleslab.com/footer/nutrition.html) look at your measuring cup and judge if that's how big your serving was, it would be slightly less than one 8 oz cup.

    My cheat has been peach, mango, passionfruit sherbert at 100 cals for 1/2 cup, 10 fat cals, but it doesn't have the calcium that ice cream has either.

    I saw a marble slab the other day. It seems like a knock off of Cold Stone Cremery.

    Yikes!! I love Marble Slab ice cream... That is frightening!! Guess I will be passing it up when we visit there next time unless it is a very special treat.

    I love their chocolate swiss too. Thank you for posting this. I'm going to visit their website as well.

    I'm a total ice cream junkie, but to replace it, I've recently fallen in love with frozen yogurt! So much healthier and it tastes just as good!

    Cold Stone Creamery is MUCH better, at least to me...when I used to visit places like that. Now I just try to "JUST SY NO"...the temptation ins just toooooo much for me to handle!
