icecream :)

[Crazy Asian]

so i looked at the back of an icecream bucket today and for 1/2 cup :

105 cal
3.5g total fat
2g sat fat
11g sugar

i mean, this isn't really that bad is it? i used to think that icecream was like the devil, but it's not too bad...right?

oh hey and 1 more question:

is peanut butter good or bad for you? cause it seems like to me that it's a fatty food, but it's just crushed peanuts, so ...

 

[Francisco d'Anconia]

A half a cup? What is that, 3 maybe 4 spoonfuls?

 

[SenorSuave]

Yea, that's the problem. Most serving sizes listed on foods are very small portions. I think they get Paris Hilton to do the servings haha

I decided to have an "Eat Stupid" week starting last saturday (I've been cutting). Along with two tuna hoagies, god only knows how much pizza, and a half gallon of strawberry milk, I ate a half gallon of peanut butter ripple chocolate icecream this week. I gained 4 lbs by thurday morning.

Needless to say, I cut "Eat Stupid" week short by a couple days.

peanut butter has phytoestrogens in it (being a legume and not a nut) so better choices would be almond, hazelnut, walnut butters etc.. but I love peanut butter so it's staying. lol

When i had an eat stupid day (entire bags of snickers bars... 5 plates of chinese food, etc) back when i was about 22-23 i'd lose a pound or two overnight.

Metabolism is a terrible thing to lose

Mmm... peanut butter. I love Skippy's natural PB. You don't have to stir it. Good ****.

I'm not too concerned with the weight gain. I aleady dropped 1.5 lbs since last weigh in. Probably drop it all and then some by monday morning. I just had a real bad case of the munchies this week. Had to do it.

its not all natural then if you dont have to stir it.

 

[monster squad]

You don't have to mix it because they use palm oil rather than peanut oil. Plus there's some sugar (real sugar), but whatever. It tastes better than any other I've tried, and no trans-fat. I'm not gonna complain.

 

[just so suave]

wats an eat stupid day?? and is ther any point to it lol??

 

[ConantheLibertarian]

It's just a day to let loose and pig out. A lot of people give themselves a day like that as an incentive/reward for eating a structured diet the other 6 days of the week.

eating peanutbutter will give you cancer.

only PB from dry areas (ie. Arizona) are safe and do not contain aflatoxin.

yeah I think I will incorporate a cheat day into my week. actually I think it'll be a CHEAT MEAL per week

not sure what aflatoxin is but you should be worried about the hydrogenated oil thats in it.

Yes the hydrogenated oil is bad as well. Anything that does not seem like it occurs naturally in nature is not great....natural stuff is good. That's why fruit, fish, yams, etc. are good because you eat them like our ancestors probably woulda ate them except now we can clean them better and cook them better.

when i feel like eating ice cream... which is not often, i do not look at the label.
i mean i hardly eat it and when i do, i just want to enjoy it.

 

[NeedToImprove]

if you are bulking up is it ok if you eat one or two peanut butter sandwiches? not sure if peanut butter makes you fat or not since its a legume

 

[Agent Zero]

Well, you got a lowfat ice cream there. The thing is if you look at Edy's ice cream or something like that it will say 14 servings, but I eat them in 3 or 4 servings. The lowfat is usually 4.5g so you gotta times that by about 3 lol. I mean if you have the metabolism you can handle it every once in a while, but don't make it a part of your diet.
