Answer
Hello Miss Kitty!

  It is nice to hear from you again.  As long as you are following a healthy lifestyle, it is ok to have a 1/2 cup of ice cream or a small cookie. These are small portion sizes and should not add alot of calories.
  Sometimes it is better to treat ourself rather then crave a certain food. Food cravings can lead to feelings of guilt which are not healthy.   Eating should be pleasurable process.  For more answers to your nutrition questions check out my book "Ask the Nutritionists: Answers to Your Nutrition Questions" available at www.authorhouse.com, online, or at your favorite bookstore.
