"A new question i have know is the heavy 0 carb cream and cream cheese with splenda mixture is this allowed on the atkins."

There's no such thing as 0 carb cream. Heavy cream has 0.42g carb per TBS. That has to come out of your daily limit (the 5 to 8 grams you have to play with).

Cream cheese has 0.4 g per TBS (0.8 per ounce). Cheese is also limited. You can have 3 to 4 ounces of cheese per day. That's 2.4 to 3.2 if you chose cream cheese.

Add your heavy cream and cream cheese together... that's nearly all of the carbs you have other than your veggies. Oh... and the Splenda... that's 1g per packet (limit is 3 per day).

So yes, you can have the cream and the cream cheese/Splenda stuff, but you'll have to limit something else in order to have it.
