What are some things that you cheese addicts (I know you are out there) substitute to fill your cravings. I always go over my calories because of cheese! It has to stop!

    if I am cooking an omlette/eggs (where I use the MOST cheese) I put in minced garlic and salsa or frans red hot instead.Otherwise I peel a cheese stick to stay within portion sizes :)

    I use lots of spices in my cooking and make sure that I occasionally (once a week or so) have the calories free for a decent size chunk of mature crumbly Cheddar or something similar *drool*

    This! I get it in there!
    I've recently tried Mozarella cheese for a lower calorie cheese.

    My fave is an oats breakfast with cheddar cheese, salt and pepper! Mmm.

    There is no substitute for real cheese. So I eat cheese. And cut calories from elsewhere if necessary.

    I buy pre-sliced cheese for grilled cheese sandwiches, cheese on toast etc- it keeps the portion small, but still satisfying. It can be an expensive way of doing it, but cheese still lasts the same amount of time as I'm using less per meal.

    BUT I have been known to still eat a whole baked camembert, just got to make it fit in your week if you really want it :)

    Edit- by pre-sliced I mean sliced real cheese like cheddar, gouda, edam, masdaam etc, not those yukky orange processed slices of grossness that other people call cheese!

    Cheese.

    That said, here are a couple of tips. I know this will sound awful to other cheese lovers and I thought it was stupid at first, but I stopped putting it in or on things that you won't really taste it. Like spicy chili. You can't really taste the cheese so just let it be chili. I also skip things like cheese and crackers and instead just eat a couple of chunks of cheese by themselves. Hope that helps a little!

    I simply eat less cheese. I weigh out a portion serving and eat that. If I could not eat all the things I like I would never have any success. My guess is your eating too much cheese is the problem, not that you are simply eating cheese.

    Yep, I don't substitute at all. If anything I just eat less of it.

    Eat more cheese, and eat less of something else. Who needs bread, or fatty red meat, or chocolate when you have CHEESE?!

    I never write on these things, but God I love cheese, so I felt compelled.

    I agree with some of the other posters - just make it fit. Life without cheese would suck. Something I like to do is use a softer but more flavorful cheese (like goat cheese for example). You don't have to use very much of it to feel like you're getting some delicious cheese action, and it's spreadable! A little goes a long way, and it's a little better for you since it's made from goats' milk.

    Also, as far as I know, feta has less fat/calories than other cheeses, so that's also a good choice. You can sprinkle some into salads, onto fried eggs, pizza, etc. without feeling quite as bad as when you accidentally eat a whole block of extra sharp white cheddar :X.

    That's actually a good tip!
    I also loved to add cheese to everything. But eventually it works out to too many calories.

    I buy smelly cheeses and sniff them. That way I'm disgusted by cheese and want nothing to do with it.

    I use stronger cheese so then I can eat less of it but still feel satisfied, so have been eating blue cheese recently-it is strong!

    There is no compromising for cheese with me. When the new shipment of Comte comes to my favorite fromagerie, then Skinny Cow, or whatever people substitute for cheese, just won't do.

    I have 1.5 oz of cheese every day. EVERY DAY. There's protein and fat, both macros I'm trying to hit a minimum number of.
