• How many calories are in ice cream?

Oh that word “calories”. Just a few small numbers make us give up our most favorite foods and delicacies. Among the unwanted products, it is equally easy to include both mother’s and grandmother’s favorite pies, and simply sweets that we have adored since childhood. One of the most significant losses can be called ice cream. But is it really so harmful to our figure? Let's find out how many calories are in Ice Cream ice cream and try to find out how expensive this momentary weakness can cost us.

Ice cream - there is so much in this word

As soon as we hear this word, we immediately begin to imagine that same waffle cup filled with a slightly frosty creamy delicacy. But wait! Ice cream is not just about cups. In fact, it boasts a wide variety of shapes, colors and therefore tastes.

You can easily find briquettes in stores, and in a cafe they will make balls right in front of you by dropping a spoon into a large container with dessert. And if everything is simple with the form, then what can we say about the taste?

Of course, you are all familiar with chocolate ice cream, varieties with fruit and berry flavors, chocolate and nuts, not to mention regular vanilla. All this can also be a filling! After all, it got its name not because of the flavoring fillers and additives, but because of the composition of the base. But do not forget that there are other types, such as milk or cream ice cream. This is something worth dwelling on in more detail.

Calories and nutritional value

If you are watching your diet, protein, fat and carbohydrate intake, the table will help you find out the calorie content of ice cream in a waffle cone at McDonald's. In the table of calorie content of ready-made dishes there is information about the content of BJU.

Such a different ice cream

It is not difficult to guess that the basis of any ice cream, no matter what its flavor, is made up of various dairy products: pasteurized milk, condensed milk, cream, butter and whey. So, the main difference in ice cream lies precisely in the presence of one or another component.

Dairy ice cream, as you might guess, is made from whipped and frozen milk with various additives. These include sugar, flavorings and special stabilizers that serve to increase the viscosity of the milk mass.

If you do not take into account frozen desserts such as sorbet and popsicles, dairy varieties can be called the lightest. The mass fraction of fat in them does not exceed 3.5%. But here it is worth considering that depending on the recipe and raw materials, these indicators may vary.

The second variety is a creamy delicacy. Here, too, everything is clear: it is not milk that is whipped and frozen, but cream, so the taste of the dessert is more delicate. The fat content of cream is much higher than that of milk, so in ice cream this figure can reach 10%.

So, if in the first case milk was used as a basis, in the second - cream, then what is the ice cream made from? And even the name doesn’t give any clues! Its “secret” ingredient is butter and thicker, thicker cream. It is because of them that the taste of the ice cream is the most delicate and rich. As for the fat content, for this type it is even higher and can be up to 16%.

By the way, if you are interested in the composition and production technology, be sure to check out one of our previous publications, where we talked in detail about how this magical dessert is produced.

Ice cream without sugar

On the one hand, low-fat ice cream and sorbet are almost pure sugar. On the other hand, sugar-free ice cream contains a whole list of sweeteners. If a manufacturer tries to create ice cream with reduced sugar and fat levels at the same time, he will essentially have to create the taste and structure of the product almost from scratch.

Even if such ice cream is low in calories and does not contain pure sugars, it is still impossible to talk about the “health benefits” of such a product. The worst thing about diet ice cream is that people tend to consume it in really large quantities without feeling full or remorseful.

The main ingredient in most ice creams is sugar or fructose syrup. In fact, fast carbohydrates account for about 20-25% of the weight of any ice cream, which most often exceeds the total fat content. The high sugar content is the main problem with ice cream - when it is consumed, the level of glucose in the blood changes extremely quickly.

So how many calories are in a cup of ice cream?

But let's return to the main topic and try to find out how many calories are in ice cream sundae.

Depending on the recipe, 100 grams of regular ice cream without additives contains from 200 to 370 kilocalories. But the standard portion of this delicacy is somewhat smaller. So, for example, an ordinary ball weighs only 50 grams, and a cup and a briquette on waffles weighs about 80.

In the second case, do not forget that you will eat ice cream along with a glass, which is generally a pastry. 100 grams of such a waffle, by the way, contain about 341 kilocalories, but in one glass there are, of course, much less. Crispy waffle cones are even more high in calories. Their energy value per 100 grams is as much as 417 kcal!

Well, now we need to do a little math to determine exactly how many calories are in the “Plombir” ice cream in a cup or block.

Don’t forget that about 5% of the total mass is waffles, respectively, the weight of the ice cream itself is 76 grams, the weight of the cup is 4 grams. Let's take the average caloric value of the ice cream equal to 280 kcal/100 grams. It’s easy to calculate that the energy value of one such serving will be equal to 212.8 kcal. For a waffle cone, this figure will be about 13.64. We add it up and get the calorie content of a conventionally standard cup or briquette of ice cream - 226.44 kilocalories.

But it's not that simple

The calorie content of the finished product consists of the energy value of all the main components. Dairy products may be the basis of the delicacy, but in terms of calorie content, along with them, it is worth paying attention to the main enemy of a slim figure - sugar.

In all of the above types of ice cream, the amount of sugar is approximately the same level and is about 15%. Essentially, these are carbohydrates in their pure form. And everyone who watches their figure knows perfectly well that it is sugar that covers our ideal bodies with a thick layer of fat. Why is this happening?

As soon as the stomach finishes digesting the sweetness, the glucose obtained from it enters the blood. The pancreas is immediately activated, producing insulin, which neutralizes this same glucose. However, it also slows down the process of breaking down fats, both those entering our body with food and those that have already been deposited “in reserve.”

It turns out that the main harm is caused not by the calories contained in food, but by sugar, which gives ice cream that very desired sweetness.

Fortunately for everyone who adheres to a healthy diet, there are special varieties of healthy (sports) ice cream. They not only contain no sugar, but also contain special additives: protein, fiber and a complex of microelements necessary for the body.

For example, 75 grams (servings) of such ice cream contain only 112.7 kcal and 7 grams of carbohydrates. Huge difference, isn't it?

Here you may have a question: “What about without sugar? It won’t be easy!” But no! This ice cream is no less sweet and tasty than the varieties we are used to. It’s just that instead of regular white sugar, it contains natural sweeteners. For example, erythritol or stevia extract are substances isolated from plants and fruits.

In terms of sweetness, erythritol is only barely inferior to regular sugar, but stevia even exceeds it several times. It turns out that significantly less of this sweetener needs to be added.

But the most important thing is that their calorie content (and therefore their carbohydrate content) is practically zero. This means that you can enjoy this ice cream after a grueling workout or a hard day at work. The presence of a large amount of protein in the dessert will even come in handy, because it will serve as a “building material” for your muscles.

We think that all the inhabitants of our latitudes, and even more, the vast majority of the population of planet Earth, love to enjoy such a dessert as ice cream. It is worth noting that ice cream is considered a very ancient sweet treat. Some researchers claim that ice cream first appeared about 4,000 years ago.

However, it was only reliably established that about 2000 BC in China, a dessert essentially reminiscent of modern ice cream was served to the table of emperors. As a rule, in the ice cream production process, ingredients such as cow's milk, sugar, various oils, as well as flavoring and aromatic additives are used. In addition, ice cream is made from cream.

Current manufacturers of food products, including ice cream, often use food additives that allow them to maintain unique taste and, in addition, consumer characteristics over a longer period of time. In the food industry there are several main types of ice cream:

• ice cream is a product in the manufacturing process of which animal and also vegetable fats were used;
• fruit ice or a product based on frozen fruit or fruit juice;
• sorbet or sherbet soft ice cream, also made from the juice of fruits and berries;
• melorin or ice cream containing vegetable fats.

In addition to the above classification, there are a considerable number of different types of ice cream. Perhaps the most common and widely consumed types of product are strawberry, chocolate and vanilla ice cream. A food product such as vanilla ice cream differs from other varieties by the presence of vanilla in its chemical composition.

Vanilla gives ice cream its distinctive taste and aroma. Vanilla ice cream is used as a stand-alone refreshing dessert or as an ingredient in various cocktails. The composition of vanilla ice cream, as well as the calorie content of the product, depends on the recipe and production method chosen by the food manufacturer.

The benefits and harms of ice cream

Ice cream is a low-calorie dessert, but this delicacy cannot be called a dietary treat .

Due to the high content of milk fats, ice cream is easily absorbed by the body. It has a positive effect on metabolism, is useful for anemia, and stimulates mental development at an early age.

Negative consequences can be caused by consuming ice cream with various artificial additives, which can cause kidney and liver diseases and allergies. Ice cream is contraindicated for people suffering from cardiovascular diseases and obesity.

Ice cream diet

As you know, any mono-diet can help achieve quite significant results in a short time. You can lose 3-5 kg ​​in just a week, but such rapid weight loss has a number of disadvantages. Firstly, not everyone will be able to eat the same product for breakfast, lunch and dinner during the week. Secondly, there is a high chance of failure after such a diet, and as a result, the return of lost weight with a few extra pounds.

Many people have tried the ice cream diet; for some it helped to get rid of a small amount of excess weight, but it cannot bring significant results.

You cannot stick to such a mono-diet for a long time, since an unbalanced diet can lead to negative consequences:

• Slowing metabolism;
• Replacement of lean body mass with body fat;
• Deterioration of the constitution;
• Increased appetite, which often leads to breakdowns, after which all the lost weight returns.

Therefore, in order not to have a detrimental effect on health, it is recommended to follow an ice cream diet for no more than 7 days.

There are two options for the ice cream diet. The first option is that a person consumes only ice cream throughout the day, the calorie content of which does not exceed 200 kcal, and there should be 5 meals. As a result, only 1000 kcal enters the body per day, due to which weight loss occurs, so how the body does not receive enough energy.

In the second version of the diet, ice cream is not the main food product, but rather a delicious dessert that you can afford in a certain amount, even when trying to lose weight.

The diet for the second version of the ice cream diet is as follows:

• Breakfast – 200 g of fresh cabbage salad and 100 g of low-fat cottage cheese;
• Afternoon snack – 70 g of ice cream, the calorie content of which does not exceed 120 kcal;
• Lunch – 200 g of zucchini stew, 250 ml of vegetable soup cooked in mushroom or chicken broth, 20 g of dark whole grain bread;
• Dinner – 150 g of boiled chicken breast or low-fat fish, 150 g of fresh vegetable and herb salad.

When following any of the options for this diet, you must consume at least 1.5 liters of purified drinking water per day.
It is recommended to adhere to the second option of this weight loss system for no more than 5 days, since a long stay on such a diet can cause significant harm to health and reduce a person’s performance. Ice cream is a favorite treat for both adults and children of all times and peoples. The calorie content of creamy and chocolate ice cream is especially high, so you should not overuse these types of dessert, especially for those who are trying to lose weight. A diet that allows you to consume only ice cream throughout the day is a mono-diet. Consequently, it is impossible to achieve significant results by adhering to the principles of this diet, and prolonged stay on it is harmful to health.
