Cheese question

SuseAndo26

I've recently taken to putting my cheese slices in my toasted sandwich maker and grilling them before putting them on my food.

I've noticed that by doing this a hell of a lot of oil comes out of it so I was wondering if that would lessen the calories any or if I should just still count it as a regular cheese slice with all the cals?

Bit left field in know. Lol

I usually don't worry about it and let it just add to my buffer. There's a 20% margin of error on the calories listed on nutrition labels anyway, so I figure anything small like that that slightly decreases intake just helps offset any unintentional overages.

Now if I fry something (which is pretty rare) and there's a lot of oil left in the pan I'll measure what's left and deduct it. But I don't do it unless it's going to be a significant difference.

Don't get too clever with your calorie counting. If you really cant cope with your goal, set it higher.

I take it as a bonus. There is a margin of inaccuracy in calorie counting in any event, so this just helps stack the deck in your favour.

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback.

Does it reduce the number of calories? Yes. Do I worry about it? No.
