I just finished off about a 5th of a 500ml tub of ben and jerrys phish
food
and now i wished i hadnt lol. its turning into a nightmare to work out how
many calories it has in it. Its a 500ml tub but all the calorie
information
is per 100g (280 calories) :/

Any1 have any idea what roughly 100ml of this stuff is in calories?

Gordy, 500ml is equal to 16.9 liquid ounces (US). For ice cream you can
generally convert one-to-one between liquid and dry for ounces, making 16.9
ounces by weight for the tub. There are 28.35 grams per ounce, so the whole
tub has 479 grams. One fifth is 95 grams, so if there are 280 calories per
100 grams, you have had 268 calories.

Hope this helps.

Have you scales you could weigh out 100ml of the stuff on?

Roughly 100 ml of liquid food is 100 grams. Very close, maybe 97 or
103 or so.

???? Surely different foods will have different densities and therefore
different masses for a given volume

That does not apply to edible liquids. We don't drink arsenic or
gasoline, we drink solutions of fat and water and sugar. They are all
reasonably close to 1 kg/l in density. Try it with your kitchen scale.

Interesting! You live and learn.....

not liquid foods. Think of a rootbeer float. The icecream might float,
but not by much. Actually it seems to sink IIRC.

It seems sort of pointless to contribute, but ice cream is made by
_aerating_ the liquid.

This means that a large proportion of the final product is air which is a
lot less dense than liquid.

For instance, I have an ice cream container here which holds 1.35L. It had
14 serves per pack at 57g per serve. Therefore, for this ice cream, 1.35L
actually weighed about 800g. So as you can see, the density of this brand
is about 600g per L which is a hell of a lot less dense than water.
