I am guessing most of Coolwhips variety come as marketing ploy, because as you see below comparing labels it is all sugar, water and fat...WHIPPED
so 2Tablespons of anything regular, lite, sugar free (it is not! just has some nutrasweet added and still has corn syrup in it) or the fat free *still has fat i it... is about 15-25 cal, o-1.5g fat, 2-3 g carbs (0-1g sugar), all have no protein. All in all 2t SHOULDN'T hurt anyone but lots more may make us dump...Just some food for thought! :-)
Regular has less carbs than sugar free!!!!

Jamie,
I noticed that too!!! Isn't it amazing what a few words on a label can do to people? I asked my SIL (she's a NUT who used to work in a bariatric surgeon's office) & she said the same thing but told me to try the "sugar free" just to be on the just to be on the safe side. I bought both in case my guests find it vile... I know they like the "Free" kind!!! I figure for the amount I plan on having it shouldn't be a big deal... I hope!!! Thanks for the info... I am new & still trying to learn the ins & outs of everything!!!
