Myth - Cream has less carbs than milk
Fact - Milk, at 14 grams of carbs per cup, as almost zero carbs per TBLS, a cup of cream has almost 7 grams per cup, but cream is more filling, hence you can use a 1/3 cup cream and 2/3 cup water to replace your cup of "milk" in protein shakes and such. You end up using less in your coffee/tea as well.
BUT, a Cafe Breve, usually made with half and half (at Starbucks), has anywhere from seven to eleven carbs depending on the size you get. Not very carb friendly...
