Damn cravings

[marcoxx626]

So lately I've been wanting to eat some ice cream, but eating a half cup for 300 calories doesn't seem to be worth it while on a cut. What kind of thinks do you guys eat that taste good but aren't so calorie dense? And please don't say fruit, they don't kill the cravings lol

Fill up on vegetables.

[softpounder]

How about frozen yogurt?

How in the world is that supposed to kill cravings?

Just don't eat any. In time you will stop craving ice cream. When I gave up soda a while back, I had bad cravings for a few weeks and now I can't stand the taste of it (my stomach isn't a fan of it now either). If you must, have some frozen yogurt.

Does that really work? I walked through the frozen section today and it was killing me....

2 cans of green beans is pretty damn filling if you ask me.

Fitting in 300 calories of ice cream into any cutting diet should be simple. At 229 lbs, your macros should be more than amenable to it. These restrictive habits are what lead to binges. If you're salivating when you go past the freezer aisle, I would say it's "worth it" to fit it into your diet.

Nothing is going to prove an adequate substitute.

I would eat and fill up with water and veggies. Make it fit your macros

The problem is ONLY eating 1/2 cup of ice cream. Are there any low calorie options that I can eat more of? I looked into sugar free Hershey chocolate syrup and things like that so I was thinking if making my own ice cream maybe.

[Shreddedshark]

Frozen Grapes.

Seriously.

Do it.

I don't think you know the difference between a craving and satiety. I can be on the verge of exploding from fullness and still crave sweets.

The problem with people on this forum is that they don't learn moderation. It always amazes me when people lament that they can't fit a whole pizza into their macros, or a whole pint of ice cream. Normal people do not view items like those as single-serving products.

You haven't shopped very well enough then. You can find ice cream that is 90-100 calories per 1/2 cup in stores like Fred Meyer or Winco.

First time cutting so I'm looking around. And I don't think we have those stores in Florida...

I have the same problem. It's not that I can't fit 1 serving into my macros. It's that I can't stop at one serving.

Breyers is not as good as premium ice cream (aka Ben and Jerry's, which rocks) but they come pretty close at roughly 1/2 the calories. The Breyer's Blast golden Oreo and Waffle Cone are particularly good.

If I am craving ice cream and I don't have alot of calories left for the day, I eat breyers no sugar no fat vanilla icecream. Doesn't have as much calories, its not as awesome as regular icecream, but you can eat a bowl for usually less than 1 serving of normal icecream. And it helps kill cravings. Also another alternative, is check out Skinny Cow icecream sandwiches. 150 calories, and the cookies and cream and chocolate peanut butter ones are awesome! There are alot of different other choices you can try, you just got to read the label, and let it guide you to your desire.

-Broccoli
-Splenda
-Profit?

not srs. incorporate only like a half an hour of cardio so you can enjoy about 3-4 more servings of ice cream if you're craving it that bad
