Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / July 2004Cant work out the calories in...
I just finished off about a 5th of a 500ml tub of ben and jerrys phish food and now i wished i hadnt lol. its turning into a nightmare to work out how many calories it has in it. Its a 500ml tub but all the calorie information is per 100g (280 calories) :/ Any1 have any idea what roughly 100ml of this stuff is in calories?

Gordy, 500ml is equal to 16.9 liquid ounces (US). For ice cream you can generally convert one-to-one between liquid and dry for ounces, making 16.9 ounces by weight for the tub. There are 28.35 grams per ounce, so the whole tub has 479 grams. One fifth is 95 grams, so if there are 280 calories per 100 grams, you have had 268 calories. Hope this helps. - Dewolla > I just finished off about a 5th of a 500ml tub of ben and jerrys phish food > and now i wished i hadnt lol. its turning into a nightmare to work out how > many calories it has in it.

Very close, maybe 97 or 103 or so. i > Roughly 100 ml of liquid food is 100 grams. Very close, maybe 97 or > 103 or so. ???? Surely different foods will have different densities and therefore different masses for a given volume >> Roughly 100 ml of liquid food is 100 grams. Very close, maybe 97 or >> 103 or so. > > ???? Surely different foods will have different densities and therefore > different masses for a given volume That does not apply to edible liquids. We don't drink arsenic or gasoline, we drink solutions of fat and water and sugar. They are all reasonably close to 1 kg/l in density. Try it with your kitchen scale. i > >> Roughly 100 ml of liquid food is 100 grams. Very close, maybe 97 or > >> 103 or so. [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > i Interesting!

Actually it seems to sink IIRC. > "LaoFuZhi" <the.real.address .is@mattATtfgtvDOTcoDOTyewkay.itsaspam thing.not.too.hard.to.work.out> wrote in message news:<cdc39u$6kd$1@titan.btinternet.com>... > > > Roughly 100 ml of liquid food is 100 grams.

It seems sort of pointless to contribute, but ice cream is made by _aerating_ the liquid. This means that a large proportion of the final product is air which is a lot less dense than liquid. For instance, I have an ice cream container here which holds 1.35L. It had 14 serves per pack at 57g per serve. Therefore, for this ice cream, 1.35L actually weighed about 800g. So as you can see, the density of this brand is about 600g per L which is a hell of a lot less dense than water.

I'm assuming, of course, that Ben and Jerrys makes ice cream the that way. We don't get it here. In any case I'd advice to original poster to read how many servers per pack there were and calculate from there. Rowena.

Since ice cream is about the same density as water, you can expect what you ate to be ~300kcal. Or you can multiply the number of listed servings x calories per serving, that will give you the total calories in the pint. Congratulations on your self-control. Only 1/5th of a pint is commendable. I normally powered my way through a whole pint back in the day. I don't foresee myself buying ice cream any more. One of the things I got fat on, so I figure I've eaten enough for a while. |
