I am a cheese lover and I eat it every day but I never knew how fatty it is ... Can you help me please ? I really need to know if its ok to continue to eat it on a daily basis or just a couple of times a week ..

Thanks

Yes, cheese is fatty. I experiment with low fat and no fat and soy cheese. You'll find something you like.

Also ... do you have an account at fitday.com? It'll figure out all your calories and fats, carbs and proteins for you. All you have to do is enter your foods.

It really depends on the cheese, there is a range. For example, parmesan is naturally pretty low in fat, while things like muenster are definitely high. For the usually higher-fat cheeses you can switch to low-fat and still get decent taste most of the time. For example, both Kraft and Cracker Barrel have a line of cheeses made with 2% milk instead of whole. You still can't overdo it, though. Treat it as part of your protein intake for the day, not as a benign snack.

P.S. I think non-fat cheese and soy cheese is NASTY.
