% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.
Fat Composition
The suggested total fat consumption should be limited to 30% of total energy intake or less. The type of fat consumed should primarily be unsaturated fatty acids, with no more than 10% of total energy intake coming from saturated fatty acids (about 200 calories on a 2000-calorie diet) and no more than 1% of total energy intake coming from trans-fatty acids.

📚 Health Research & Evidence About This Food
Ice cream is generally a calorie-dense food, typically high in added sugar and fat, and is not considered a health food comparable to fruits or vegetables, according to Healthline and Cleveland Clinic, which note that even "healthier" versions may contain artificial ingredients or sugar alcohols that can cause digestive issues. Despite this, a systematic review and meta-analysis investigating various dairy types, including ice cream, found an inverse association between moderate total dairy and cheese intake and the prevention of prediabetes. Furthermore, daily consumption of calcium-fortified ice cream has been shown to reduce bone resorption markers like serum CTX in premenopausal women with low calcium intakes without causing weight gain, with effects observed within one hour of consumption.
