Vanilla ice cream calories and nutrition facts
100 grams of vanilla ice cream contains 207 calories, with 3.5 g of protein, 23.6 g of carbohydrate and 11 g of fat. It provides 0.7 g of fiber and 21.2 g of sugar per 100 g. Most of its calories come from fat.
Ice cream's served portion is the whole game: the half-cup these tables assume is a modest scoop, and bowls at home routinely hold three. Air whipped into cheaper brands actually lowers calories per scoop; premium dense brands run heavier than they look. Log it by weight once and recalibrate your scoop.
