Okay I am sorry to keep bugging you but as far as the amount of lactose is Cheese, what is the amount of Lactose is Cheese in relation to a glass milk. I just dont understand the quantities of Lactose, so basically if cheese has between .3 and .6 , how much would a glass of Milk have??

On other thing everyone who low carbs alwasy says to eat hard cheeses but now you are saying that the softer cheeses have less Lactose, so that does make sense why does everyone recommend hard cheese why not soft cheeses since they have less.

An 8 oz glass of milk (be it whole milk or skim) will have approx 12g of carbs. An 8 oz glass of cream will have 6g of carbs. Quite a difference

LCers eat both hard and soft cheeses. As far as I know only Atkins restricts how much cheese you can have during a specific period (Induction) and that amount is 4 oz of hard cheese or soft cheese. If you're strictly counting carbs you get more cheese bang for your buck with gouda than cheddar.

Your best bet is to look at the label of the milk you have in questions. It will list the carb count, then it will tell you the Sugar count in grams.

Since the only sugar present in milk is lactose, you will know when you read the label.

About the hard vs. soft cheeses: Just read the labels. If it has more tham a few grams of carbs per serving, just say no.

This diet isn't so hard. LOL. You just have to read labels and keep track of alot of things until you get the swing of it.

Hi. All "yellow" cheeses are one of primary foods in CKD. They contains much fat and proteins (~1 fat : 1 protein) and VERY small doze of carbs (0.1 - 0.8 grams in 100 g).

White cheese in big quantity is quite dangerous in CKD (much proteins, few fat and quite sizeable of carbs as lactose).

So you can eat much Goudas, Ementalers, Bries, Camemberts but be careful with white chees.

on the cheese issue i found i great cheese its a smoked swiss. it has 7g of fat per serving and a good amount of protein and NO carbs at all. i also eat kraft taco cheese on my eggs and stuff but after it is gone will go to only eating the swiss. i also eat it as a snack. one pound goes fast. also i believe it has 0 sugars too.

See for some reason I thought that lactose did not register into the nutrional labels on foods, but I glad it is so we know exactly what we are getting??
