I love cheese, all different kinds, but it's one of the few items I just don't like the fat free versions. I usually get the reduced fat or lower sodium but they still have lots of calories...any suggestions?

Parmesan has pretty reasonable stats, as do the laughing cow wedges.0

You could try soy based cheese or goat cheese, which is what I eat since I don't digest lactose.0

Ugh, I'd rather eat less of the real deal than soy cheese or fat free cheese. Mini Babybell Light and Laughing Cow are good options though.0

Cheese strings--only 60 cals and fun to play with! lol
Edit: also, if you grate your cheese instead of eating it as a pathetic little cube, it seems like much more.0 -
Cheese is healthy for you in moderation. I much rather watch my portions and eat the real stuff!0

If you love cheese, eat cheese, just less of it.
Feta has few calories.0 -
I think all of the suggestions above are great! I am a cheese LOVER! String cheese and parmesean is awesome and low calorie. Then you have cottage cheese which is LOADED with protein! I don't get the lowfat and it is only 110 calories for 1/2 cup. Add fruits or veggies and it is a perfect meal!0

There is no alternative. Cheese is good. Eat the real deal! And don't eat soy products (phytoestrogen, look it up).0

I give my girls the reduced fat polly-o string cheese. I eat veggie slices, which are lactose and gluten free. I have also tried Smart Beat. I like them but haven't eaten, and cannot eat, regular cheese so I either got used to them or they really do taste good. I was feeling brave on day and ate the laughing cow reduced fat cheese. Tasted great but the after effects for me were a killer. If you can digest lactose and just looking at the lower cal/sodium, those are very good.0

Love the laughing cow cheese wedges. I use them for burgers and wraps0
-
Eat less of other things filling up your calories?0

one mini babybel light round goes a long way. I shred it up for quesadillas, I peel string cheese for wraps and make grilled cheese with them.
Uhm.. and I would DEF not get fake cheese unless you had to for allergy. Gross.0 -
laughing cow light, 50 cal:) Your not alone!!0

I tried soy cheese once. I couldn't spit it out of my mouth quick enough!0 -
Laughing cow is not legit cheese in my book. I have cut back a bit on my portion sizes of cheese, but I still eat plenty of real cheese!0
