Can I Eat Cheese

Cheese is a wonderful source of protein, calcium and phosphorus, but it's also a major source of saturated fat.

Regular cheddar cheese has about 9 grams of fat per ounce, 6 grams of which are saturated.

Many cheeses are naturally lower in fat than others. These include part-skim mozzarella, string cheeses, farmers cheese, and Neufchâtel. Goat cheese is lower in fat and has fewer calories than cow's milk cheese.
