    I love cheese too. I use mini bon bells light or Laughing cow swiss cheese with an apple as an afternoon snack. I also like a good parmesan cheese cut up with an apple. It is not as easy to over eat these as taking a good block of aged cheddar and cutting slices off.

    Cheese is amazing. Eat it, but in smaller quantities so that it fits into your goals. I find that now that I eat cheese more consciously and in smaller amounts, I take the time to enjoy and appreciate it much, much more.

    I love cheese too. In fact one of my favourite meals is two toasted cheese sandwiches made with LOTS of cheese, to the point where it's oozing...when I lived at home and had a grill I would grill them on non-toasted bread then smoosh them together and that would make it even better. I love cheese...

    I eat cheese everyday, and have been known to have it for every meal in some way from a mature cheddar , cheese string , baby bel, cottage cheese, soft cheese like Philly, Parmesan to more artisan cheeses.
    I can only afford 1200 ish net so earn a lot more cals in excersise to make sure I can fit in the cheesy goodness.

    I try to make cheese fit into my calories as often as possible. Most cheese "substitutes" just don't cut it.

    But two things I do use - Pollyo string cheese (not the fat-free or 2%) only 80 calories each and I think they're yummy. And Laughing Cow cheese wedges - I love the Garlic & Herb, I use it as a sandwich spread instead of mayo, mix it into eggs, melt it into rice or quinoa, spread it onto an English muffin, etc.

    What a great idea as a sub for Mayo!

    I love cheese as well, but have cut it down to be a snack of its own with some crackers, etc. I never notice the lack of it on a sandwich, for instance, but as a stand alone it's awesome. You're ditching the extra calories of including it as a condiment in short. I liked the Laughing Cow's Gorgonzola a lot. String cheese is a nice treat, too.

    Last night I had 5 Ritz crackers with 1 oz of goat cheese and 2 oz of Cabot White Oak Cheddar for a snack. Filled me up and I worked it into my calorie goals.

    I love cheese. Laughing cow when calories are low. Lite string cheese @ 50 calories since I can't taste a difference from the 80 calorie. Cottage cheese 1 or 2% usually because of use by/expiration dates. Then everything else full fat/calorie but eaten in moderation .

    Right now in my fridge just in my bucket (kids get their own and hands off mine lol) I have feta, goat milk brie, provolone slices, cheddar, fresh mozzarella, pepper jack, cream cheese, cottage cheese, string cheese, and laughing cow cheese.

    That's a lot of cheese :D

    I eat cheese every day. I have a small handheld grater, and I use that to serve it up, including for making grilled cheese sandwiches. It somehow helps me to eat a bit less than I would slicing. My favorite is Old Fashioned Colby, love the texture and flavor! But all cheese is heavenly.

    I love cheese. I eat goats cheese or extra mature/vintage cheddar nearly every day (M&S Cornish Cruncher *salivates*). I figure out how much I have room for, weigh it, grate it, and have it as a snack on crackers, usually when I get home from work..

    I am a definite food addict and am trying to learn to control my cravings. Unfortunately, cheese is one of those triggers that makes me binge, so I'd like to learn to make cheese a treat rather than an every day thing, but I crave it every single day!

    Don't buy cheese then it won't be in the house =)

    Me, too. I eat it often. It's all about juggling around what you want. If you want cheese, eat it. Take something else out of the day that you'd miss less. Also, I agree about the sharper cheeses being 'enough' in a small amount. I don't even waste my time on mild cheese. "Mild" is the Moscato of the cheese world. No thanks.
