Cream cheese is a go-to for so many people, especially as a spread on bagels and sandwiches. But how healthy is this tasty condiment?
According to Healthline, cream cheese is high in fat and contains a small amount of carbs and protein too. It’s also a decent source of vitamin A and vitamin B2. However, whipped cream cheese contains less fat and lesser calories compared to regular cream cheese. Cream cheese is also low in lactose, thus people with lactose intolerance can savour it freely. While it makes for a versatile ingredient, it has a relatively short shelf life and is low on protein.
According to Food Network, “Two tablespoons of regular cream cheese have 100 calories, 9 grams of fat and 6 grams of saturated fat. So if you want to lighten things up, whipped or light varieties are the ways to go.”
