Cream cheese - is it allowed?

[NannyR]

I've got two packs of cream cheese in my fridge, one is Aldis version of full fat Philly, it's got 26g of fat and 2.6g carbohydrate per 100g, the other is Longley farm and it's got 29.5g fat and 4.0g carbohydrate per 100g. Are these both ok or are they too high carb?
Also is aldi full fat Greek style yoghurt (4.4g per 100g) too high carb?

Is there a simple rule, like you should avoid foods with carbs of more than x grams per 100g when following this way of eating?

Just starting to plan what I'm going to eat next week and getting quite excited looking at recipes online!

Firstly - no need to worry about the fat content! (Unless it's low fat, obviously, which we avoid like the plague )

All of those are fine in terms of carb levels - generally speaking if I'm buying 'manufactured' foods, which has a carb count, I try to keep things under 4 or 5g carbs per 100g.

The only caveats I'd have here are:

1. in the first two weeks of Bootcamp (which are the strictest) you should really be getting most of your carbs from vegetables and salad. If you're eating cream cheese and yoghurt in the same day, you could be adding a lot of carbs to your day

2. it's worth weighing out your yoghurt the first few times you have it, so that you know how much 100g is - it's very easy to eat more than that in one go (voice of bitter experience )

3. don't forget that some people have issues with dairy - so try and keep things like this to a minimum anyway, unless you know that it's not a problem for you
