HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! To all the beautiful mothers out there reading this blog. And thank you for your continued support.
Alright! Let's get ready to Roll!!!
I'm human. No lie. And being human I like to have foods that are not entirely good for me. I won't lie to you. I may be 29 but my two favorite foods are still Cheese Pizza and Ice Cream.
"Hi my name is Rob Belley. I'm an Ice Cream addict"
Trying being a fitness professional and magazine Advisory Board member who has to stay in beach body shape year-round and keeping your favorite foods from showing on your belly.
I don't.
But I do stay in beach body shape ;)
I eat roughly a gallon of ice cream and one or two 10" inch cheese pizzas weekly!
2nd Disclaimer: But I adhere to my meal plan about 90% of the time.
Do you? At the bottom of this post is a pic of my midsection for proof that you can still enjoy your favorite foods and have a life ;)
So this week we'll start with two flavors that are affordable on the wallet and pretty good on calorie count. I'm matching up two Edy's flavors (Dreyer's if you live on the west coast).
Yogurt Blend Chocolate Fudge Brownie &
1/2 the fat Light Double Fudge Brownie
They match up well in labels. Both are 120 calories per 1/2 cup, about 4 grams of fat, 20 grams of carbs (14 from sugar) and 3 grams of protein. Of course the yogurt blend is 4% higher in Calcium but we're not having this for our bones ;)
I feel the yogurt blend is a bit sweeter and fluffier in texture than the light ice cream. I prefer the light ice cream honestly.
For me, ice cream has to have a certain density on my palate. I like it to last. If I want something cold, and light I'll drink a milkshake ya know.
So it's in my opinion that if you're going to splurge....go with the Edy's light ice cream chocolate brownie flavor.
I think it'll fill you better and the tatse will resemble ice cream more.
Of course Edy's can't touch super premium ice creams like Hagan Dazs. But that's a future battle.
And just in case you don't believe me, here's a picture of my abs from mid april.
If I'm not tan, you know these aren't from May or summer here by the beach in the South Shore/Cape Cod of Massachusetts
