LOW CARB JOURNEY
As a household favorite, cream cheese often raises questions for those new to the low-carb diet. Do you have to give it up, or can it easily fit into your diet plan?
The answer is YES! Cream cheese is low carb and can be included in any low carb diet plan. It can be enjoyed in various dishes without worrying about exceeding your carb limits.
There are 0.8 grams of total carbs per tablespoon of cream cheese. Since cream cheese contains no fiber, the net carb count is also 0.8 grams per tablespoon.
However, different types of cream cheese can have varying carb contents. Thirty grams of full-fat cream cheese has about 1 gram of carbs, while light cream cheese contains around 2 grams of carbs.
Cream cheese has a balanced mix of fats and protein, making it a filling addition to your meals without adding too many extra calories.
Is cream cheese keto friendly? YES! It can be enjoyed in various keto recipes without exceeding 50 grams carb limit per day.
