The higher the fat content, the LOWER the carbs. So, full-fat cottage cheese, regular sour cream, ricotta etc .... is going to be lower in carbs than the low-fat and especially the fat-free types. Not only do lowfat dairly products have more lactose in NATURE, but often manufacturers will add starch ingredients to thicken product, to make up for the missing fat.
