Default Low Fat Cheese *cringe*

Heys!
This prolly should be in the FAQ section but I dunno. So I really dont like cheese, other than pizza, quesadillas and a few other selections. Now on SBD we're not supposed to have full fat cheese...but my problem is, I found some LF colby-monterey jack and omg I had to throw my lunch away. Total rubber. Any suggestions? Or should I just use the regular as a very rare occasion "treat"? Thanks gals!

Do you have a Trader Joes near you? They have a wonderful return policy if you don't like a product. My TJ's has a wide variety of low fat and fat free cheeses to choose from.

I've found a wide variation in tastes and textures of different brands of cheeses.

Good luck finding one you like.

I cannot stomach the low-fat/fat-free cheese, so I bite the bullet and eat the real stuff (actualy quite often as a snack). The first time I did SBD, I did not find it caused me an trouble with weight loss/gain.

I've found that if you get LF hot/jalapeno pepper cheese, it doesn't taste as low fat as some of the others since the peppers take your mind off the 'low fat' taste. Hope this helps

I, in general, don't like most types of cheese, full-fat or low-fat, but I've found the 50% light Cabot cheddar to be excellent! They have little snack slices or they have jalapeno-flavored kinds, which I don't eat, but would probably be a way to eliminate the LF taste.

You don't really HAVE to eat cheese, if you can find some other snack item. I think most people like it because the fat content keeps them feeling full longer. Nuts/peanut butter would serve the same function, I would imagine.

There is kraft 2% cheese....I cannot even taste the difference. I tried fat free cheddar and almost threw up as well. I consider myself a cheese expert.....

ok I'm all about cheese, hence why I'm on the beach but anyway...yes the Cabot LF pepperjack is great but also most string cheese and part skim mozzarella counts as low fat. I believe it should be less than 6 gms of fat per oz, that covers a lot of cheese. If you buy fat free shredded cheese, mix it with full fat cheese and voila you've got half and half cheese-works for receipes

Yippie! Considering I eat quite a bit of string cheese since it's easy to grab and take with me when I do go into the office. I have to be prepared there since we have a lot of clients that are fond of bringing in sweet treats as thank you gifts (I work in a veterinary specialty/emergency hospital).

thanks for all the suggestions! i wish there was a trader joe's here - i keep seeing the name pop up. i may just stick to the full fat cheese for when i really want a quesadilla. i had the kraft colby-monterey lower fat crumbles today and flipped. now i know the world isn't ending! thanks again!

i eat the 2% cheeses and they are good. i can't even FIND fat-free cheese around here. shows how health-conscious this area is, i guess.
