Cream Cheese

[quikdeb]

I was wondering if celery with cream cheese is acceptable as a CM? I'd appreciate the info. from anyone who knows.

Thanks..

PS Where is everyone? It's been so quiet!

I sure hope so, since I have it all the time! I think that it's even in my CAD book under sample CM menus.

I was just wondering because my mom thought she read that it wasn't recommended as a frequent indulgence, but I can't find where she read it.

Also, I was wondering if it was enough protein (1gr.) to fulfill that component of the CM?

I love it for a quick breakfast so I hope it's ok.

p221 CAD has celery & cream cheese recipes, so must be ok :)

Try wrapping the celery and cream cheeze stick in a slice of ham or beef - that will bring up the protien level, and tastes great.

P181 of CALP under 'Craving-reducing breakfast alternatives' section they say...

"Fill celery with some cream cheese (this is pretty rich so don't do it every day)..."

This might be what your mom read.

Both celery and cream cheese are listed as low-carb foods. Eat on!

Thanks everyone for the help. I don't do anything everyday, so this shouldn't be a problem. The wrap is a great idea...sounds yummy!

Thanks again...

Deb :)
