Congrats and great to see the excitement that you have. I'm sure you will do well. As for the cheese, I'm not sure how much it takes to make 2 oz., however if there are no carbs in the cheese, you necessarily do not need to worry about it. It is important that you keep your calorie count up while keeping your carb right below 20. Good luck.

You should use 1g for each oz of cheese to be on the safe side. Manufacturers can put 0 carbs on the label if the count is less than one. Your cheese might have .9g carb per oz.

Does the package not have a weight printed on it?

Good luck!

Yes.. they are right you need to be careful with carb counts.
One of the things helpful for measuring two ounces is a little food scale. They are everywhere and cost nothing.
Also.. think about starting a journal..
that is where a good portion of the action around here happens!
