    Actually I didn't refigure out the nutrition myself, I simply trusted it from the recipe. If you'd like to refigure it here's a great recipe converter from SparkPeople (one day hope to have our own here on MFP:tongue: but in the meantime...this comes in very handy!)

    Lovely recipe, which I shall make, however, what is a graham cracker? If you can tell me what it is, I am sure I can get the equivalent in England - or are there any UK'ers out there who can enlighten me?

    I adore creamy lemon cheesecake, and so I'm keen to experiment.

    Ohhhh hungry now thinking about it.

    Done some research and the equivalent to a Graham Cracker is a digestive biscuit. I'm not sure if they sell low calorie digestive biscuits over here, but I will definitely check it out.

    I have a recipe program called MasterCook Deluxe Ver 9 that will give nutritional info on all recipes you enter. Now I do sometimes have to work with it because someone may word an ingredient one way but the program puts it another. With this recipe, I entered it into my program as follows (some things were changed in order to get the program to recognize it).....

    2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs, divided
    *1 package lemon gelatin powder (.3 ounce)*
    2/3 cup boiling water
    1 package reduced-fat cream cheese (8 ounces) cubed
    *1 cup cottage cheese, lowfat (8 ounces)*
    *2 cups whipped topping*

    The items with stars are what needed to be changed for the program to have all of the ingredients and here's the nutritionals that I got for the above ingredients with number of servings being the same.....

    Calories: 134
    Fat: 6 g
    Saturated Fat: 5 g
    Cholesterol: 3 mg
    Sodium: 175 mg
    Carbohydrate: 16 g
    Fiber: 0 g
    Protein: 5 g
    Diabetic Exchange: 1/2 Lean Meat (:huh: ), 1 Fat, 1 Other Carb

    The above info is given based on what is in the database on my program. I have had the program a while so there may be new info out there and it doesn't have any name brand ingredients listed in it either. PLUS, different brands of the ingredients will have different stats as well (I plan on updating the program and adding the brands I use once I make it so that name brands are included)

    It would probably be a good thing to use something online that's updated regularly so that name brands and a wider variety of ingredients are included. But this is a jumping ground.
