Sugar-Free Ice Cream or Fat Free Yogurt

I was in the mood for some fake ice cream today so my choice was sugar free ice cream (Spenda - no calories, but real dairy) or frozen yogurt (fat free but has sugar). I chose the sugar free iced cream (it was very good by the way) and the Ben and Jerry's dude asked if I was a diabetic.

Whats better if you are trying to loose weight.

(and yes, neither gets the )

I think it comes down to calories...Sugar free ice cream still has a ton of calories. Whereas you can find fat free yogurt with no sweetener.

I'm about to make homemade ice cream tonight for freezing on Friday...using Splenda & "lite" cream...probably put sugar free York Peppermint patties in it & a few regular Andes candies... If you like mint chocolate ice cream, it's the shizzle.

I was always wondering if those things were actually better for you. I remember eating something that had a fat free label and my friend said that fat free just means full of carbs. Are the carbs worse for you than the fat that would have been in it?

It comes down to what burns better, fat or sugar. I really don't believe there's an answer to that.

I can see if you are on a no carb diet(in the first few weeks of one anyhow) and not wanting the sugar carbs, but a calorie is just a calorie, IMHO.
