Default Cheese With Zero Carbs, YAY!

I know cheese is generally accepted in the low carb plans but most kinds do have a couple carbs in them. But I found some cheese that doesn't have any, I'm so psyched! They are Kraft Polly-O Twistums, kind of like string cheese but it's mozzerella and cheddar twisted together with absolutely zero carbs. WOOHOO! An excellent snack by itself or to pair with some pepperoni, mmmmmmm....

All cheese does have carbs, but a lot of times when it is less than 1 carb per serving, they just round it down to zero carbs. It probably has like .5 carbs.

Use the hidden carb counter on this site and you can see that there are accually low quanities of carbs in it. my brand of marble cheese also sayes zero carbs (equality brand from food basics, in Ontario) So, if you eat it too much at one time, those low amounts of hidden carbs can still add up orver the day to a carb or 2 depending on the quanity you eat per day. But if your eating chease daily you might as well eat the "zero" with hidden carbs over stuff that has 2-3 carbs per serving right! in the long run you still get to consume more. hehe

I dont know why the government allows companies to put ZERO on the lable just cause the carb count is less then 1 carb. I want to know about that .5 or .25 even!! they can add up over the corse of daily snaking expecally for someone doing induction and trying to remain under 20 grams.

It might even be closer to 0g than to 1g, but you would hope that they would at least make them put something on the label to let you know that it isn't an absolute 0g content. Maybe the word "trace" or something. I've seen many products listed as 0g and have listed ingredients such as sugar, maltodextrin, flour, etc. Those ingredients might be minimal, but they sure aren't invisible!
