Fat
One 2/3 cup serving of ice cream contains 9 grams of total fat, including 6 grams of saturated fat.
Dietary Guidelines for Americans set by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends choosing foods that have a 5% or less daily value. Based on a 2,000 calorie diet, the 9 grams of fat in natural vanilla ice cream is a 14% daily value.
Saturated Fat
Saturated fats are often found in animal fats, dairy products, pizza, and baked goods, among other foods. According to reports from the U.S. FDA, diets high in saturated fats have been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
One serving of Breyers natural vanilla ice cream has 6 grams saturated fat. That’s a 30% daily value (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).
Sugars
Of the 19 grams carbohydrates, there are 16 grams of added sugar. Dietary Guidelines recommend consuming 10% or fewer of total calories from added sugars.
For example, if the total calories that I consume daily is 2,000, then I should eat fewer than 50 grams of added sugars.
- 50 grams sugars x 4 calories per gram = 200 calories (10% of 2,000 total calories)
With that in mind, a single serving of the natural vanilla ice cream has 64 calories from added sugars. That’s a 32% daily value.
