I snack on low fat string cheese when I get hungry between meals, not often but that's my go to snack.

I incorporate cheese often, but in tiny amounts. Dabs of goat cheese in my salad, or melted grated cheese on refried Beans. Just enough for the taste and a hit of Calcium and Protein. I never, however, just eat it on its own.

cheese is a good go to snack for me. I eat the Babybells or a like snack. But, don't forget to include it if you count your calories. Karen

While cheese can be a high fat/calorie snack, as long as you are tracking calories it's fine. I frequently eat weight watcher cheese sticks - they are 70 calories and yummy with a small handful of grapes, keeps my snack calorie count a little less than 200 and that is where I like it.

Try to find low fat cheese. It isn't as bad as it once was, it is actually pretty good now. I fine I really like Weight watchers brand, but the 2% kind is also good.

I think Sargento light string cheese is only 50 cals, don't quote me on that, I'm going by memory.
