Neufchatel cheese instead of cream cheese

I eat lower carb to control Type 2 diabetes (successfully!).
My breakfast is frequently 2 bran wafers with cheese. I discovered that Neufchatel cheese is very similar to cream cheese but lower calories and fat.
For a 2 Tablespoon serving, Neufchatel Cheese: 80 cal, 1 carb, 6 Fat, 2 Protein.
Cream Cheese: 101 Cal, 1 carb, 10 Fat, 2 Protein

The downside is that neufchatel can be difficult to find. My local Giant carries their own generic brand next to the cream cheese.
