I miss cheese and dairy horribly. I understand the lactose = sugar thing but as mentioned above, aged cheese, like parm or a very sharp cheddar, would be low in lactose. I feel like i'm missing key nutrients by skipping dairy. (I know, I know.. it's in the packs)
When I did Medifast, I used veggie cheeses and found fat free Soya Kaas to work really well. The mozzaralla or cheddar come in a block and I could divide it into 1 oz cubes for part of my protein serving. It was great shredded on top of the soup or a roasted mushroom
Soya Kaas FF Mozzarella Flavor:
1 oz serving
36 cal
0g fat
0mg chol
240mg sodium
1carb
7 g protein
The white cheddar Soya Kaas flavor was decent too but it didn't come in FF or a block. Just slices.
Also liked Veggie shreds in something like a stuffed pepper.
I think i may need to talk to my coach about this...
