I have to say I dropped into this thread because of "bab "

What could bab cheese be? We all do it we type faster than we re-read and hit submit followed by a "XZTKBDZX" expletive deleted. Many's the time I have hit the edit button a millisecond after the post and hope that no-one noticed my gaffe.

But now you have my attention you are onto one of my favorite foods.

It is notoriously difficult to go by the carbs in a cup of cheese. You either have to shred or melt to get it in and it throws the values completely. There is also quite a margin of error when the carbs are so small. In most cases, carbs are counted indirectly by adding up the weight of protein, fats, water and ash first and subtracting from the total weight. What is left is counted as carbohydrate.

For cheese it is better to count carbs by the oz.

The same cheeses as above when counted by the oz using the Atkins carb counter where if it less than 0.5 they say zero.

Per oz
Muenster - 1
Havarti - 0
Mozzarella - 1
Swiss - 0.5
Parmesan - 0.2 ( one Tablespoon)
Provolone - 1
Jarlsberg - 0
Gouda - 0
Edam - 0
Brie - 0
Camembert - 0.9
Cheddar - 0.7
Colby - 1

So you can see its all rather much of a muchness.

Yes, you should count the carbs, it is not a totally free food.

But There are no bab cheeses just some that are more yummy than others.

We are of course all different and dairy/cheese does make some people lose more slowly. But the colour? I think not.
