Coke, candy ice cream
One strange phenomenon among us volunteers is that many people who didn't eat or drink much sweet stuff back in the US are now regular consumers of things like candy, ice cream and Coke. Although it's not particularly good (it's all made by one local company), candy is everywhere, and ice cream is ridiculously cheap - about 25 US cents - so that explains a lot. But one woman has developed a curious habit of eating a Bounty bar every day even though she never - never - ate them at home. Don't know why she didn't pick Mars bars, the other US candy bar available here. Other volunteers are like me and drink Coke regularly even though we never used to touch it. Most eat much more ice cream than before. Oh well. The big question is, is there protein in ice cream, or is it mostly just fat?

I would say there is a high fat content in the milk. Milk products have protein. I guess that ice cream has less protein than yogurt or cheese. I also think whole milk contains "bad" cholesterol--so perhaps you may want to balance cravings for sweets with longterm fitness. Maybe it also depends on your overall diet-- I bet you don't eat cereal in the morning!
