How does ice cream fit your goals?

Ice cream delivers a balanced macro profile (2.3g protein / 15.6g carbs / 7.3g fat per 1/2 cup (66g)), which makes it easy to fit into almost any tracking plan. Foods like this are particularly useful as base ingredients in meal prep, because they don't lock you into a specific macro split — you can pair them with whatever your daily target needs more of.
