Density 16 · -19 vs Dairy & eggs medianCream cheese scores 16 of 100, a Low band ranking 49th of 60 in dairy and eggs against a category median of 35; vitamin A stands out at 34% DV, an excellent-tier figure, alongside protein at 12% DV.
It's spread on bagels and toast or blended into cheesecake and dips, with a tablespoon, 15 g, as the everyday serving. The honest caveat is 20.2 g of saturated fat and 101 mg of cholesterol per 100 g, both concentrated because the product is mostly fat by weight. Cheese, neufchatel, a lighter cousin of cream cheese, is one same-category alternative worth comparing.
