How do you....

Count the carbs in cheddar cheese. For years I count carbs in cheese as one carb per ounce... no matter what the cheese... but I see from the atkins website that there are different counts for all the cheeses..

Type Serving Size Grams of net carbs Blue cheeses 1 oz 0.7 Cheddar ½ cup 0.0 Cow, sheep and goat 1 oz 0.3 Cream cheese 1 oz 0.8 Feta 1 oz 1.2 Gouda 1 oz 0.6 Mozzarella 1 oz 0.6 Parmesan 1 tbs 0.2 Swiss 1 oz 1.0

Cheddar cheese says 0 cabs for 1/2 cup! I'm confused, how do you count this??? THANKS!

Phat in Florida! (haha)

I always use my trusty Carb Gram Counter as most cheese packages say "less than 1 gram".

1 oz Cheddar Cheese = 0.4 gram

I just use fitday. It counts if for me

And remember that the company who makes it can round down on a label. If something is there but under 1 they can say zero on label legally. (and they do)

For induction, Dr Atkins told us to count each ounce of cheese as being one carb regardless of the actual count.

The rule of thumb is to count one ounce of cheese as equivalent to one gram of carbohydrate.

Probably to make sure we didn't overdo it

Ahh ok so I was remembering it correctly! Thanks everyone! Probably a good idea, the not overdoing it part I mean! haha
