While many assume all half-and-half is created equal, low-fat varieties do exist, typically containing about 50% less fat than their regular counterpart. The question, "Is there a lowfat half-and-half?," leads to exploring products that achieve a creamy taste and texture through modifications, offering a lighter option for coffee and cooking.

One tablespoon of plain half-and-half contains approximately 0.6 grams of carbohydrates, making it conditionally acceptable on a ketogenic diet, though far from the optimal choice. Its lower fat-to-carb ratio compared to heavy cream means the carbs from lactose can add up more quickly, so careful portion control is paramount to avoid disrupting ketosis.
