I am having a hard time finding a good low/reduced fat cheese that is not loaded with sodium. Any suggestions??? Oh, and they are sooooo expensive!!!! :noway: I am looking for sliced cheese for my husband and son for their sandwiches. Also cheese sticks, cheddar cheese for myself. I don't eat cheese everyday but I like it every now and then. Thanks!! :flowerforyou:

    If its not something that you use everyday, I wouldnt spend a fortune on low fat/low sodium etc.... Cheese is already expensive enough as it is, I would just stick with the kind you like, and moderate yourself just like with anything else.
    Sorry I couldn't help with the low fat low sodium cheese, I havent found any myself, and I find that they taste weird haha!!
    Take care....

    My wife and I get the Cabot Farms 75% reduced fat sharp cheddar. It's got 200 mg sodium per serving which is decent, not great but ok, but it only has 60 cals and 9 g protein and 2.5 g fat per serving which is MUCH better then most. It's not QUITE as good as regular sharp cheddar, but it's pretty tasty.

    Babybel (the cheese in the red wax container) has a reduced version

    Love Jarlsberg light Swiss from Costco, only 50 calories per slice, not sure about the sodium though....Also love the laughing cow for spreadable cheese , only 35 calories per wedge with 260 mg of salt
