balancing a junk food vice

If you are doing such extensive exercise- runnign two miles and things like that, you need more than 1000 calories even if you are trying to loose weight. Eat low calorie foods (lots of fruit and veg, lean protein, small amounts of carboydrate) when you are hungry, dont starve yourself. And in my opinion if you are doing things like running two miles you can afford to indulge in ice cream, just make sure the rest of your diet is healthy and balanced.

I would avoid the ice cream - some Healthy substitutes:

Here are 22 portable and healthy snacks that make the list of dietitian’s favorites: Half a peanut butter sandwich on whole-wheat bread Low-sugar, whole-grain granola bars that have at least 3 grams of fiber Whole-grain crackers or whole-wheat tortilla with hummus or nut butter A handful of unsalted or lightly salted dry-roasted nuts Individual unsweetened applesauce with a few dry-roasted walnuts Small apple with 2 teaspoons peanut butter or 1 ounce low-fat cheese Ants on a log – celery with nut butter, topped with raisins or other dried fruit Half of a single-serving string cheese with a small piece of fruit or a few whole-grain crackers 4-ounces to 6-ounces of low-fat yogurt or yogurt treat High-fiber dry cereal with a few nuts or seeds and dried fruit (put this in a baggie for a make-your-own snack pack) Individual packs of carrots, celery sticks, or apple slices, with a protein source like a tablespoon of nuts, nut butter, or low-fat cheese Pretzels and low-fat cheese Whole-wheat cracker sandwiches made with natural nut butters 1 ounce of lean meat and a few whole-grain crackers 3 ounces low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese and a few whole-grain crackers 1 whole graham cracker and 1 teaspoon nut butter Raw vegetables with 1/4 cup low-fat ranch dressing 100-calorie pack of low-fat popcorn rich in whole grains and fiber Handful of tortilla chips and salsa 100-calorie ice cream treats “Skinny” latte (made with low-fat or skim milk) Small bowl of whole-grain cereal with skim milk or low-fat yogurt
