Want some cheese with that wine? Of course you do, or you wouldn't be here. If you also want a cheese that fits into your low-carb diet [1], we have some good news. Most cheeses do! In fact, many are so low in carbs that they fit the stricter keto diet [2].
From asiago to Velveeta, this table lists the amount of carbs in each 1-ounce (or 28-gram) serving of the most popular cheeses out there, according to the United States Department of Agriculture Food Composition Database. So the next time you're feeling cheesy [3], consult this list to help you decide what's a gouda idea to snack on, and what's nacho style. (We're so sorry.)
