Since ancient times, people know ice cream, which was also called "Chinese sherbet", and the fact that its calorific value has always been high. The whole secret of the rich taste of this delicacy lies in the fat content of the cream or milk, which was used to make it. And, at the same time, the most delicious ice cream was always the most caloric.
Caloric content of different types of ice cream
Depending on the type of ice cream, its caloric content may differ significantly. Initially, only natural fatty cream participated in its manufacture, but now, in order to reduce the cost of production, many manufacturers add vegetable fats to the composition. As a rule, the taste of the product suffers from this.
So, calories in ice cream:
- calorie filling - 230-250 kcal per 100 g of product;
- the calorie content of chocolate ice cream is 215 kcal;
- Caloric content of cream ice cream - 191 kcal;
- calorie Creme brulee - 191 kcal;
- the calorie content of milk ice cream is 131 kcal.
Any ice cream contains a large amount of fats: 15% in the fillings, 8% in creamy ones. Milk ice cream, which is not very popular, has about 3% of fat. However, not only fats adversely affect the female figure - in ice cream contains many simple sugars, which quickly affect the waist, abdomen and hips (in the form of fat deposits).
Ice cream during a diet
Of course, eating ice cream or cream ice cream during a diet means throwing yourself back a step. The caloric content of one serving equals the caloric value of a diet dinner, and in fact ice cream will not allow you to get enough for the next 3-4 hours.
If you still want to not deprive yourself of this delicacy, but at the same time successfully lose weight, you can make home fruit ice cream, which can be used in small quantities as a dessert, and at the same time - without harm to the figure.
