When I eat a lot of ice cream to gain weight I feel like I am burning up even at lower room temperatures. You have a lot of cells that are made to burn calories to generate heat all over your body under your skin, when they get active they consume a ton of calories. I guess they activate a bit easier for some, but everyone has them.
Do you not consider an entire cup of ice cream a lot? I call it quits at one scoop personally.
One scoop of icecream is so little, why even bother eating icecream at all.
High end ice cream is something you would normally only eat about a scoop of. But yes most people just get the cheap 4L tubs and shovel a bowl full out.
I don't keep it in the house, I only eat it when we go to a dedicated ice cream place really. So one scoop+cone is enough for me, considering if I'm at an ice cream place it's usually before or after we're going somewhere else to eat, or otherwise it was a spur of the moment thing, and either case I'm not gonna be trying to eat a ton.
Depends on the scoop. I would guess an actual ice cream scoop is around 1/2-2/3 cup since that's the serving size for many brands. My point was that they don't need to eat a sundae, or pig out completely. A cup is on the larger side, but probably still fairly normal (medium size at a shop, or 2 scoops).
Technically they're best consumed in the morning, from a caloric standpoint.
Why is that? I've always heard that you can eat a lot for breakfast and your body will somewhat adjust it's calorie needs down for the rest of the day. My grandfather needed to gain weight as he got older he would eat ice cream or drink a beer before bed and it helped him gain weight. My understanding is that metabolism drops during sleep, making it more likely that the calories are stored rather than used.
