    I found this explaination from Menshealth.com:

    Cheese is a stellar source of calcium -- and saturated fat. Even going the reduced-fat route is no guarantee you won't line your arteries with lard, since low-fat versions need to have only 25 percent less fat than a brand's full-fat original. What's the best way to find out if your favorite is truly as lean as the label suggests? Do a little comparison shopping.

    I love cheese and eat cheese and I have lost 46 pounds over the last year. I also love milk. I drink skim milk but I eat regular cheese. I would rather have a little of the good stuff than more of the less fat stuff. So that is something that allow myself and I have still lost weight. So that is my story on cheese!

    I agree! I'd go without sugar before I went without cheese - in fact, I am! And I can't handle the non-fat stuff. It's just not right.

    I'm glad to hear that someone has consistently lost weight while not giving up regular cheese, even if it means smaller chunks!

    the Sargento Medium Cheddar is yummy 60 cal and 4g Fat.

    I like the slices, then I don't have to weigh it- and I don't cut a big slice. I eat alot of cheese, too. Lowfat cottage cheese is good, and parmesan.

    Ok I totally agree I would never eat those crappy low fat options they are just horrible and taste stale at least the ones in the UK are I prefer to buy a stronger cheese and eat small amounts (like 1oz on a sandwich) as it is a gr8 source of calcium and it is nicer than taking supplements I mix it with tuna or even egg on a wholemeal sandwich delicious.
