Goodbye, Cheddar Cheese

Dear Cheddar,

First of all, you should know, it's not you - it's me. But I'm fairly certain today is the day we have to break up. When I log just a few ounces of you into MFP, I see your sodium content, I notice that I kick into a craving, and I watch my day's calories quickly add up for very little satiety.

I just can't do this anymore, except in extreme moderation. No more can I have you sitting on my fridge shelf, asking me if I have any lonely tortillas around the house that might need your touch.

I hope you find some nice nachos to hang out with.

    I broke up with cheddar cheese by buying only the shredded packages and storing them in the freezer. You have a little when you need it. And not when you don't. I totally get you.

    Thanks for the laughs. I do love my cheese though, and it does hurt to eat it in moderation only, but your body will thank you in the end. I find a way to eat at least some cheese everyday.

    Yep, I gotta have at least a wedge of cheese every day

    If I didn't eat some kind of cheese every day I would probably die or be heart broken at least. I love me all the cheeses!

    Genius! Thanks for the tip! I like a tbsp on huevos rancheros, but if I buy a whole piece, I end up justifying it right onto my thighs...

    Thanks again!

    Nooooo. I cut my cheddar up (20 oz per slice), prepackaged and put in my freezer. I have my cheddar fix daily.

    Cheese is actually helping me eat healthier. Gives me some protein I wouldn't have and it's a satisfying snack. I eat sticks or precut ounces from a block. Cheese is just too good to pass up.

    I love cheddar....well I love cheese. I was amazed how much you get for an ounce (I weigh out that 28g every single time). Some days I eat a few ounces throughout the day, but I figure it's a nice little protein and some calcium I probably really really need. I try to get extra sharp so I get a strong cheese bang for my calories.

    I live for cheese! And I just tell myself that my Dr. told me to eat as much calcium as I can before I turn 30 because after that my body can't store any more and starts losing it. lots of cheese = strong bones! :P

    Cheddar cheese and apple slices go hand and hand, along with grapes. Ohhh maybe I'll have that for lunch.

    Cheddar apple pie is a thing too.
