July 24, 2002 -- According to the newest diet featured in Prevention magazine, you can lose weight and eat ice cream once a day, too. The trick is moderation, and eating healthy meals the rest of the day. While on the diet, women may have 1 cup of ice cream, and men may have 1½ cups per day.
The Most Fattening Ice Cream Flavors
- Häagen-Dazs Chocolate Peanut Butter (360 calories, 24 grams of fat).

Most sherbets and sorbets have about the same number of calories as a "light," "low-fat" or "nonfat" ice cream or frozen yogurt, but what they lack in fat they make up for in sugar, which in my opinion makes them no healthier. This can mean they're healthier, as long as they don't have tons of added sugar.
Gelato typically offers fewer calories, less sugar and lower fat content per serving than ice cream. serving of vanilla gelato contains 90 calories and 3 grams of fat, compared to 125 calories and 7 grams of fat in the average vanilla ice cream.
Sorbets are generally lower in kilojoules than ice creams. We recommend choosing ice cream or sorbet with 800kJ or less per 100g, but 600kJ or less per 100g is better.
Rolled ice cream uses less sugar than traditional ice cream. That means fewer calories per serving. And no air is added to the mix, which makes it denser than typical ice cream. “That's the way that ice cream should be made,” he says.
To keep calories low, Halo Top uses the zero-calorie sweetener Stevia. For added sweetness, it also uses organic cane sugar — which is still sugar — and erythritol, which is a type of sugar alcohol. Some early evidence also suggests that sweeteners might interfere with the body's mechanisms for metabolizing sugar.
Greek yogurt is high in protein and calcium, while still delivering the same creamy texture you're after in traditional ice cream. Here, seasonal berries and quick whole grain pancakes get layered together for a parfait that's just as nice for a sweet breakfast, as it is for an evening treat.
Why Ice Cream Is Unhealthy
Ice cream is unhealthy because it is an energy dense food and has a high content of carbohydrates, sugar, and fat. With a carbohydrate count at about 15 grams in a one-half-cup serving, 20-30 grams of sugar depending on the flavour and 10-20 grams of fat.Ounce for ounce, frozen yogurt has fewer calories and is lower in saturated fat than regular ice cream. But, if you choose low-fat ice cream, the calories and saturated fat are about the same. The same amount of frozen yogurt, original flavor from Pinkberry, has 100 calories and 0 grams of saturated fat.

Truth is, if you wanted to, you could eat a little bit of ice cream every single day and still be healthy — as long as you also ate a lot of foods that were good for you. You'd have to eat almost four scoops of vanilla ice cream to get the same amount of calcium and protein as a glass of milk.

- Stonyfield Frozen Yogurt.
- Three Twins Ice Cream.
