5 Ice Cream Treats Never to Eat
Worst Popsicle
110 calories
2 g fat (1 g saturated)
13 g sugar
This isn't such a bad option, as far as frozen treats are concerned. It's only 100 calories, which makes it preferable to pretty much every other "Worst" on this list. But why choose the Creamsicle when you can cut almost two-thirds of the calories by opting instead for the patriotically colored Firecracker popsicle?

Pick the Popsicle Firecracker Jr. pops over the Popsicle Creamsicle Bar, and you'll be cutting out half the sugar and two-thirds of the calories. Make a swap like this every day, and you'll save 525 calories a week. That's about eight pounds of weight loss in a year.

Beware of any "mini" versions of your favorite foods. As with sliders and regular-sized burgers, a "serving" of the smaller Snickers ice cream bars is actually worse for you than the original.

Worst Ice Cream Bar
300 calories
21 g fat (17 g saturated)
21 g sugar
What's baffling about this ice cream bar is that it's made from low-fat, artificially flavored ice cream - and yet still packs as many calories as a McDonald's Cheeseburger, as much sugar as seven Rainbow popsicles, and as much saturated fat as 17 strips of Oscar Mayer bacon!
The Good Humor line of ice cream bars isn't all bad news, though.
90 calories
1.5 g fat (1 g saturated)
10 g sugar
If you stick with the Cookies & Cream Bar, you'll get only a fraction of the calories, sugar, and saturated fat of the Good Humor Candy Center Crunch Bar.
