Actually, according to a recent Consumer Reports calculation, a half-cup serving of superpremium vanilla ice cream contains only 267 calories, compared with 363 for a 5-oz. piece of homemade apple pie. A 154-lb. person, nutritionists say, can burn off half a dish in 21.2 min. of moderate skiing, 87.6 min. of golfing or painting furniture, or 188.6 min. of lying down and daydreaming.

It is still the nation's most popular dessert, but as Editor in Chief Jane Young Wallace points out, "There is a trend toward healthy, low-cal foods. People seem to prefer...
...sport star MIKE SMERCZYNSKI has a tip. "The best restaurant in Boston," says the Peabody native, "is Tecci's, right behind North Station."
