is cream cheese allowed? i've heard cottage cheese is but as a snack. if cottage cheese is allowed then why not cream cheese? even if it's fat free cream cheese?

Yes, 2 ounces of regular cream cheese counts as a fat subsitution for those days that you have the leanest of the leans.

Fat free cream cheese can be used as a snack. Remember you are only allowed one snack per day.

I often add fat free cream cheese to my pudding which keeps it from freezing into a solid ice cube and leaves it more like ice cream.

Rodeo is right on about the cream cheese. To address the cottage cheese thing... no, its not a snack. Cottage cheese is a lean option. Depending on what carb level you want and what lean level you want, you can have between 1 and 1 1/2 cups as your lean option.

You can download the Meatless Options through the website. If TSFL its under Support and Tools. If Medifast its under Learning.

The Lean and Green, and the Meatless options pages are the best source of information for you, so make sure that you read through them. I have them printed out and posted.
