I'm hungry and there's nothing else in the fridge but ice cream. Is it ok to eat ice cream with an empty stomach?

always eating ice cream will make problem on digestive system. occasionally OK. avoid eating snacks , potato chips , oily foods while hungry ,it's highly make gas trouble .have rice or something what your traditional food

Hi, ddaguno. I think that as long as the ice cream is low in calories and fat free then it is okay. But if you are hungry, it is best to eat something that is wholesome that will stick to your stomach. Eating ice cream is best when you have a craving for it when you want some cold ice cream to eat.

i always do eat and nothing seems to happen to me. well, it does ruin my appetite sometimes but that's about it. i'd rather eat ice cream than real food anyway.

I would prefer eating rice or anything solid first before eating ice cream. I am not really sure of the effect if you eat ice cream when you are hungry, but definitely its coldness is not good for hungry stomach. Ice cream is for desert only not a main dish, so better find anything to eat first.

at the time of hungry if we don't have to eat any other then we can eat ice cream ice cream is good to eat but when we are hungry we should not eat because its not enough it should be considerd as fast food only according to me

Hi, It is perfectly alright to eat ice-cream with an empty stomach. This is because ice-cream is generally made from nutritious ingredients like milk. The added flavor like sugar, chocolate, strawberries and corn are all healthy food as well. So you don't have to worry about making your stomach upset by eating ice-cream when you are hungry. I think you are making your body healthy by providing it with ice-cream when you are hungry. You will get a lot of good energy from the ice-cream, and there's nothing harmful by eating it at any time of the day.

something must be there before taking it, cause your stomach won't bare the cold ice.....

It does not have anything of villain, nevertheless I believe that the ice cream does not fill, and mas if they are of water, to calm the hunger it is necessary to eat something solid, and another topic is that to the slightly cold being it is necessary to eat slow and when one is hungry it does not bear this in mind.

I don't think there is anything wrong with eating ice cream on an empty stomach. In the past, I have skipped the main course and just had the ice cream. I don't do that anymore, because you are getting a lot of calories without any of the nutrition of solid foods. Other than that, I think it's OK.

I think there is nothing wrong with eating ice cream on an empty stomach. Actually ice cream is high on carbohydrates so it can be a substitute for rice. It is just the fat content of the ice cream that we need to watch out for.

Hmmm... I think you should eat rice or a hot soup than eating ice cream... 'cause it may have a bad effect on your stomach somehow.. ;p you know, cold foods or drinks can cause constriction of our blood vessels...that's why I probably advise you to eat something high in carbohydrates.. ;p If you don't find something on your refrigerator, than just try to buy something outside. :)
