Cheese Fat Free , Low Fat Or Regular?



Recommended Posts

I went to try melted cheese for the first tome today, purchased the fat Free mozz and cheddar....nothing cheezy about it, didn't even melt properly.

What are you guys using?

I am over 2 months out and my fav is sharp cheddar (regular). Some may disagree but it works for me. I dont melt it but I slice it and eat it for a snack.< /p>

Melted cheese doesn't go over too well on me....So, I usually stick to low fat sharp cheddar, or low fat colby...I just eat it as a snack....the sargento cheese sticks are my fav!

I eat the low-fat. The non-fat tastes like plastic and the full fat is too greasy for me. Low fat is juuussst right!

Considering that I eat so little, I go with regular cheese. Manufacturers put so much junk into foods to make up for the loss of taste when the fat is lowered/removed. If you are going to melt cheese, go with the regular. I grew up on low-fat/non-fat cheese and it always reminded me of melted plastic.

Melted plastic is exactly what it reminds me of!

I'm going for the low Fat to snack and regular to melt...I only consume a very small amount melted so the taste would help

Just remember yellow cheeses have a higher fat content.

I eat full fat cheese too except for the Baby Bell Light and the Laughing Cow wedge. Those I like. All other cheeses are regular and I eat a huge variety of it from Wednesleydale to Havarti to sharp cheddar. The best melting cheddar is Longhorn and sometimes hard to find.

My NUT told us that we shouldn't be using fat free anything because they usually compensate with a lot of sugar. I've done low fat cheeses and they melt pretty good.

Low fat as far as mozzarella but regular with all the rest, I am only eating a ounce at a time so I want the good stuff!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
