Cream cheese (also called soft cheese) is a soft, mild-tasting, white cheese,
cream cheese contains a wide variety of nutrients including carbohydrates, fats and proteins and, when used in moderation, can be included daily as part of a healthy diet. Made up of pasteurized nonfat milk and milk fat, cheese cultures, Whey Protein concentrates, salt, guar gum and carob bean gum, cream cheese is used in everything from breakfast toppings and desserts to savory dinner sauces.
A 1-oz. serving of Philadelphia cream cheese contains 100 calories, 80 of which come from fat. Because a serving of cream cheese is 80 percent fat, cream cheese is in the fats food group as opposed to the dairy group.
A serving of cream cheese provides 9 g of fat, 6 of which are saturated fats. This makes up approximately 14 percent of your total recommended daily fat intake and 30 percent of your total daily recommended saturated fat intake based on a 2,000-calorie diet. While it is somewhat high in saturated fat for its serving size, if consumed with low-fat foods, such as a whole-grain bagel and fruit, it can be an acceptable addition to a healthy diet.
A 1-oz. serving of cream cheese provides 35 mg cholesterol, or 12 percent of your daily recommended cholesterol intake. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends consuming less than 300 mg of cholesterol per day to promote heart health.
There are 105 mg of sodium in a 1-oz. serving of Philadelphia cream cheese. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no more than 2,400 mg of sodium intake per day. One serving of cream cheese provides about 4 percent of your daily intake of sodium and can be considered a low-sodium food.
One serving of Philadelphia cream cheese contains 1 g of carbohydrates. The small amount of carbohydrates in cream cheese comes from the natural sugars in the milk that is used in its ingredients. For those on a diabetic diet, this is a very low carbohydrate food that will not raise blood glucose levels very much.
There are 2 g of protein in a serving of Philadelphia cream cheese. Because protein requirements vary based on your age and activity level, it is difficult to set a recommended daily protein intake. Per serving, Philadelphia cream cheese is not considered a significant protein source. Consult your doctor or a registered dietitian to find out your specific protein needs to be sure you are consuming adequate amounts of protein daily.
While Philadelphia cream cheese is made using milk products, it only provides about 2 percent of your recommended calcium intake. It is important to find other ways to incorporate calcium in your diet to maintain strong bones. Cream cheese also provides about 6 percent of your daily recommended Vitamin A intake. Again, cream cheese is not a significant source of vitamin A and you should seek out other ways to include foods containing vitamin A in your diet to better meet your daily needs.
