Eating ice cream is usually a true pleasure. And those who are watching their weight need not avoid it. We all know that there are no "good" or "bad" foods, but rather balanced diets as opposed to bad eating habits. Everyone should correct the false assumption that ice cream is high in calories. Ice cream is a food product that can easily form a part of any person’s daily diet – its nutritional value merely needs to be incorporated as part of an overall varied and balanced diet.

In any case, ice cream is an enjoyable food for all. No one should think that eating it breaks one's diet. Even when it comes to cream-based ice creams, when eaten in proper portions, they don’t amount to more than 12 percent of total calorie-intake required in a normal daily diet.

In comparison to baked goods, ice cream proves to be much lower in calories: it provides between one-half and one-third the calories present in cakes. And one must not forget that cakes are much higher in sugar than ice cream.
