Ive been reading on the atkins induction that cheese should be limited to 4oz but at the same time the cheese list says that cheddar contains 0grams compared to the others that have .2g or more. Does it have any cause if it doesnt i would for sure eat more!

My DANDR book shows 2 tablespoons of cheddar has .2 grams carb. Remember this is a volume measurement. Fitday.com shows that 1 oz (by weight) of chedder is .4 grams carb.

I think Atkins limits cheese because it is very calorie dense and very tasty that some people would have difficulty self limiting their consumption.

thanks for that info

Cheese is one of those foods that is calorie dense so you can consume a lot of calories with just a little cheese. All cheese has some carbs because of the lactose (milk sugar) in the cheese. That sugar content is one of the reasons why Atkins recommends limiting the amount of cheese during induction.
