Glamour - Ice Cream


I love ice cream!! We had Ben & Jerry's today at work!! Glamour magazine had some comparisons between different kinds of ice cream to help you see how much more you can eat for the same amount of calories!! Check it out!!

These are all based on 300-calorie servings.
Information from here down taken directly from Glamour's August 2007 issue.
Go here for subscription information.


EDY's Slow Churned Light Mint Chocolate Chip
300 calories; 2 1/2 scoops; 11 grams of fat
A unanimous favorite; it tastes as rich as the real thing. But it still packs 40 percent of your daily saturated-fat quota, so don't have that much every day, says Christine Gerbstadt, R.D., an American Dietetic Association spokesperson.

HAAGEN-DAZS Raspberry Fat Free Sorbet
300 calories; 2 1/2 scoops; 0 grams fat
Delicious and good for you. This serving has 5 grams of fiber, which is 20 percent of the amount you need daily.

TCBY Hand-Scooped Cookies & Cream Frozen Yogurt
300 calories; 2 scoops; 9 grams fat
A crowd-pleaser; it has a "creamy" texture just like ice cream, and it's not at all "icy," as fro-yos can be.

STARBUCKS Low Fat Latte
300 calories; 1 3/4 scoops; 5 grams fat
Need an afternoon pick-me-up? Staffers agreed this is "refreshingly not-too-sweet," and, yes, you'll get a caffeine buzz.

BEN & JERRY'S Chocolate Fudge Brownie Low Fat Yogurt
300 calories; 1 1/2 scoops; 4 grams fat
In a word, "yum." Choose it over the regular version and you'll save 11 grams of artery-clogging fat.

COLD STONE CREAMERY Birthday Cake Remix Creation
300 calories; 4 spoonfuls; 12 grams fat
If you can't stop at a few bites, try the light cake batter kind; it has about half the fat (testers couldn't even tell).
