Is Cheese Low in Carbohydrates?


If you are like me you love cheese, but when you are trying to stay low on carbs, there are a few things to note...

The fat to carbohydrate ratio of foods is very important if you are doing keto. For example, cream cheese is considered good for a low carb or keto diet because its F/C ratio is 5:1 (5 grams fat to 1 gram carb).

Be careful with provolone, parmigiano, pecorino and yogurt. They have more carbs than cream cheese.

Processed cheese has LOTS of carbs, so stay away from it.

Goat cheese, blue cheese, and gorgonzola are good.

Ricotta is OK but not great.

Cottage cheese is typically low in carbs but it has too much protein, especially if it is low fat. Stick with full fat, and don't eat a lot of it...

MAKE SURE YOU READ FOOD LABELS before you buy!

Books about low carb diets and recipes to help you stay on track.
