Regular full-fat cream cheese. A generous bagel schmear is closer to 3-4 tablespoons — easy to underestimate. Whipped versions have the same macros per gram, just more air per spoonful.

How does cream cheese fit your goals?

Most of the calories in cream cheese come from fat (10g per 2 tbsp (29g)), which makes it calorie-dense — easy to under-portion if you're eyeballing. Dietary fat is essential for hormone production and absorbing fat-soluble vitamins, but at 9 calories per gram it's also the macro most people accidentally over-consume when they stop weighing portions.

Diet-wise, cream cheese fits keto, low-carb, and vegetarian eating patterns.
