Default American Cheese?

Are we allowed to eat this on induction, I was just reading the "allowed" foods for induction and it was not listed as a cheese to eat, oops...I have been having a slice in my eggs every morning? Please help!

I ate american cheese on Induction without problems. Just make sure to include it in your daily carb count. American, cheddar, provolone, etc are OK but limit it to 3-4 oz per day. Cottage cheese, farmer's cheese, and fresh cheese have a much higher carb count & therefore can't be eaten during Induction. Hope this helps. Good luck.
God Bless,
Amy-Lynne

Deli natural american cheese should be ok (doesn't cause me problems) but those pre-packed cheeses (individuals) knock me out - they also have more carbs.

Processed American cheese slices usually have 1-2 grams of carb per slice, so go easy on them and count the carbs.
I use American cheese on my scrambled eggs maybe once a week just because it melts better than regular cheddar.

REAL American cheese has the same carb count as cheddar. Processed American cheese food or other derivative "cheeses" are much higher in carbs. Check your package if you're not sure.
