Does anyone know the carb count of plain fromage frais ? I tried it in the carb counter but it came up with nothing. I don't know if they have it in US. But technically it is a cheese isn't it. I was thinking if it wasn't that bad when I'm on OWL I could puree my own fruit and mix it in myself. I looked on my kids but they have added sugar etc so the carb count was 7g per pot (and they are tiny pots). I bet the no sugar and totaly natural stuff is lower.
Any help would be great.

You won't belive how many websites I've visited looking for this info for you .

They all go on and on about how much fat it's got or not got - boring. .

You'll have to buy some and look at the pot or packet.

Ahh thanks for trying anyway Robert. When I find out I shall post it for anyone else.

the carb count on ASDA fromage frais (good for you range)is 3.3 per 100grams.i,ve used this product for a long time and it,s very nice,especially with a little no carb syrup mixed in.

Thanks so much, I shop at asda too so thats good.
I posted someone from London who had written that he had eaten it in his journal but say's that creme freche is better on the carbs because it's higher fat.
I think I shall try both when on OWL.
Thanks again, Hev.

Hi Hev

Yes, as already said Fromage Frais and Creme Freche are both fine on the low carb way of life. I tend to shop at Sainsburys and so the nutritional information comes from products from that store, but most varieties should be pretty similar.

Fromage Frais - Sainburys Normandy Natural
Amount Per 100 gram

Fromage Frais Normandy - Be Good To Yourself
Amount Per 100 gram

Creme Fraiche

the italian ricotta cheese sold by asda is very good also. it,s just 2 carbs per 100grams. i think it tastes better than the fromage frais as it is slightly sweeter.it makes a lovely treat when mixed with a few chopped nuts and some strawberries.

Thanks Littleanne thats exactly the info I was looking for, Wow they are both not too bad.
Pepsi max I have never tried Ricotta before but I will, I've tried loads of new things and am very experimental.
I am not on OWL yet but am trying to plan ahead as it is quite easy not to have to think on induction, it's like a safety net, you know what you're allowed and you stick within those perimeters but there is a bit more freedom and I don't want to go berserk.
Thanks again guys, Hev.

it,s best not to add too many different foods otherwise you can get carried away. i know i did and sometimes still do!!i think it was easier at the start and then it,s not so tempting.
