Default FF Cheese Recommendations

I started Core program today and my question is:

Can anyone give me a recommendation on a tasty, fat-free cheese?

Thank you for your help!

My recommendation is never to eat it plain. I use Trader Joe's, but only melted in omelets and on top of beans, etc.

Sorry I can't help you because I refuse to put that processed fat-free shite in my body. To much in the way of processing for me and it just doesn't taste good. I eat real cheese or nothing at all.....

Thank the both of your for your input. I'll ask around my meeting on Thursday, but Kelly S., I think I follow your lead and use my points for the real thing or at least 2%, which is not horrible.

I won't use 2% either. I am a (proud) cheese snob! Which is why I do FLORE/CLEX program. LOL! This is just an endearing term for using Flex with portion control but utilizing mostly (90-95% of the time) CoreFoodsList.

As far as taste, I really like the Borden FF cheese--it is also 30% (I think) calcium!

Mostly I agree with KELLY although I like a lot of lower fat cheeses too. But I have been mixing the TJs f/f (grated) with other grated cheese in casserole type dishes. And I've never found anything better than Cabot's 2% slices for a grilled cheese sandwich.

I eat Lifeline FF cheddar, mozzarella and spicy jack. The spicy jack is very spicy. They melt well in a casserole. Soy cheese also melts well.

I've had the Borden's and that was pretty decent, I've also tried the Trader Joe's ff cheddar and thought it was seriously NASTY. Since soy cheese is allowed on Core, I stick with that.

I find that Kraft shredded Free melts in dishes.

I don't think they have an aftertaste, but I don't eat them plain...jalepeno chedder is great for grilled cheese. The parmeson substitute is pretty good, I think it tastes a lot more like the real stuff then Kraft.
