We might not know which choices are a minor indulgence and which may leave a lasting impression on our swimsuit appearance. Here’s how to make better ice cream choices: Choose ice cream that has no sugar added, which cuts the calories roughly in half, to the mid-100s. If you want soft-serve, get a regular nonfat. For sundaes, enjoy a scoop of low-fat vanilla topped with sugar-free chocolate sauce.

Personally, I love frozen yogurt, especially its creamy texture, which reminds me of roadside soft-serve stands. The good news about frozen yogurt is that it usually has fewer calories than regular ice cream (but not always) and comes in sugar-free, fat-free versions that taste just as rich as any soft-serve ice cream you could order.
