FitAzi Tip
FitAzi suggests protein ice cream (there are varieties with ~100kcal/cup and more protein) as an alternative when you want dessert, without sacrificing your goals. If you choose classic ice cream, portion a small cup into a bowl instead of eating from the tub and include the calories in your daily budget. Savored after a balanced meal, it satisfies cravings without disrupting progress.
