Place your ice cream cravings on ice
Although I don't typically advocate eating low-fat foods all the time, in some cases you can make healthy substitutions without sacrificing the taste you're looking for. With a little effort and planning, you can have your cake and eat it too.
Comfort food craving: Ice cream
A half cup of Ben & Jerry's averages out at 300 calories and 17 grams of fat, depending on the flavour you use. This means that if you binge on the whole pint, you've just ingested 1,200 calories from ice cream at one sitting, and 68 grams of fat! To put this into perspective for you, that's more than a whopper with cheese, which clocks in at 680 calories and 39 grams of fat.
Smart substitution: Fruity sorbet
A half cup of most sorbets checks out at 110 calories, 27 grams of sugar, and 0 grams of fat. Cold comfort here I come!
