| What brand is that? and make sure it isn't a low fat one..because the low fat ones have all the sugar.. I have a 8 ounce block of Philadelphia Original Cream cheese here It has 1g carb... Sugars are <1g. Protein 2g |

| I just happen to have a tub of the Philadelphia one.. I don't know why its different between a tub and a block.. But I do see the sugar carbs on this tub (it was my daughters before Atkins for her bagels) I am sure someone else will have some knowledge on it.. I would by the blocks from now on that say Original. I am not sure what the difference is in Regular and Original though.. Strange isn't it. |

| Check the serving size as well...some brands have a serving set as 1 tablespoon while others have it as 2 tablespoons. All the ones I've seen that said 2g of carbs are listed as 2g per 2tblsp while the ones that have 1g are listed as a 1tblsp serving.

| I believe Philidelphia yields the lowest at 2 total carbs per 2 tablespoons or 1 ounce. Most of the others yield 2 carbohydrates, so I always recommend the former for my recipes unless another brand of equal "carb value" can be found.

| check out your local 'store brand' cream cheese too. I found that Waitrose soft cheese has half the carbs of Philly!!

| The lower fat Kraft Neufchatel Cheese actually has less than 1 gram of carb per ounce. I like it better because it's softer. |
