    I used to eat loads of cheese and butter but decided to cut out both, at least for regular consumption (not easy to do here in France because there is a huge choice of cheeses available).
    I suffer migraines so thought stopping the cheese might also help never mind the calories. Now on toast and bread I just have jam direct and don't miss the butter any more.
    Now I regard cheese as an occasional treat and reserve it for things like a a raclette evening with boiled potatoes, bacon, mushrooms, eggs, chillies, mushrooms, and lots of salad (and of course a good bottle of wine). That's a big calorie hit but how can you refuse melted raclette cheese on hot new potatoes?!

    Oh that just makes me hungry! :D I love cheese and eat it every day - at least 30 gr. And I switch it up between cheddar, mozzarella, havarti, cream cheese, cottage cheese, goat cheese. Feta and olives is so good too! I use butter, about a tbsp daily and 1 serving of high protein, high fat greek yogurt - Yum!

    On the Keto diet, most likely she isn't eating bread :) We tend to "fat-bomb" regularly in order to get in enough fat for the day as that can actually be the biggest challenge on keto. You're doing great!

    Very little, to none.

    I'd prefer a sweet vs. cheese and butter, so I can live without those calories etc.

    Neither every day...

    Butter probably a tbsp per week. I use olive oil.

    Cheese a few ounces a week.

    Butter maybe 5g once a week, cheese maybe 3-4 times a week, either a slice in my sandwiches, or crumbled/shredded in salads or omelets pretty much. Once or twice a month maybe I'll have just a piece of cheese with a couple crackers. But I don't buy the really good cheese anymore because one serving is just not enough (I used to eat like, 8 servings at a time or something).

    I've chosen to seriously curtail my butter and cheese.

    On days I eat cheese, it tends to be just one ounce.

    But then, I'm not working out the way the original poster is, either!
