Heavy Whipping Cream?

:no

Question The heavy whipping cream we are using says 0 carbs and 0 sugar per tablespoon. The 14 day guide says only consume 2 to 3 tablespoons per day of heavy cream??? So is that accurate to only do 2 to 3 tablespoons per day?
We were having a great time with cheesecake and homemade whipped cream until we read that!!

thanx agn!! Pete & Crystal

Yes, there's a limit to the heavy cream...probably because Dr. Atkins wants you to get your fats from a variety of foods, not just from one splurge of whipping cream a day....that's what I figure anyway..because boy, I could put away a lot of whipping cream if I was allowed to...lol

Pete, many foods could read on the packaging "One tablespoon has zero carbs" because it could be something like 0.3 or 0.4 and they just round it down. That means if you eat 3-4 tablespoons, all the carbs add up - see what I mean?

Be very wary of foods that list <1g or 0g per tablespoon - it could just be the nutritional panel rounding it down.

Having said that, is there an extra column on the nutritional panel that gives a breakdown for "per 100g" or a larger amount than one tablespoon? What's the carb count on that amount?

Also note that heavy cream is a dairy food and can cause some to stall - that is why it's limited on Induction but reintroduced back in the OWL dairy rung.

Appreciate the input, thanks very much. It all helps us on our plan.
Have a great, successful day and keep moving forward.

I really like Fitday because it adds up my fractions of carbs to get a closer count. Because if I'm allowed a certain number of carbs in a given week I'm going to get as close to that number as possible.
