Thanks for your help.

Lite cream, believe it or not, only a slightly higher amount of carbs yet has half the fat and calories. I know Atkins does not worry too much about fat grams. I am actually following a slightly different program (Australia) whereby I have a certain amount of protein, fat and carbs to follow. So, in this instance the fat g and calories do count.

Also, it would not be economical for me to use the cream whipper for only 3 tbs of cream. A soda bulb has to be used each time you whip up a batch and cannot be re-used.

I remember reading that the cream is whipped to four times its volume, so I think I will use that as a guide, i.e. 1tbs whipped=1/4 tsp unwhipped cream. Hope this formula works as a guide.

I will keep a watch on my results to see if the cream tips me over.

Thanks for your help with this....sometimes it just takes me a while to work out some of the finer details.

If anyone else actually does use a cream whipper and has any other suggestions that would be great.

Thanks again for help.
