Just wondering how much cheese you all eat though out the day. Myself i probably eat to much of it. I will havr cheese with scramble eggs in the morning then nibble on 4 cubes as s snack though out the day. Might have scramble egges twice in a day with cheese. In the evening for a meal it might be chilly with chesse.ect . So am i eating to much cheese on this diet or is it normal.

I also eat too much cheese. 1-2 ounce is a nice easy low-carb snack. count as 1 carb per ounce and make sure that fits in your guidelines.
I tried fathead pizza today for lunch for the first time and it was very yummy. The crust is made with cheese and almond flour, then topped with more cheese.
Although I'm not worried about the high fat or calories on LCHF diet, most low carb dietary guidelines recommend limit consumption of cheese to only a couple ounces per day because you should focus your few allowable carbs to get some low-starch veggies.0 -
Some days I have almost none, other days I think it's like 50% of my calories...as long as your body doesn't have issues with dairy, it should be fine.0

Ok thanks for your advice.0

Atkins said 4 oz daily I think and if I am not careful with my intake I stop losing so I try to have it in 1 meal a day.1

Dr. Eric Westman of Duke's Obesity Clinic indicates up to 4 ounces of cheese per day. I don't eat much cheese by itself and use it more of an occasional condiment but I'm certain I eat more than 4 ounces of dairy products most days. I find a cup of Greek yogurt or cottage cheese more satisfying than 2 slices of cheese for 200 calories.2

Cheese is expensive calorie-wise so I don’t eat very much of it. maybe 20 g a day, but some days none at all.0

I like the mozzarella cheese sticks as a snack. They are 80 calories each with 6 fat grams and 7 protein grams.1

I eat all the cheese everyday! Lol I love cheese and have it as a snack and grated mozzarella in my lunch salad.0

I can really overdo it on the cheese too. If its a standalone snack, then I'm fine; but if we're talking keto casseroles or pizza then my calorie goals are toast.0
