    Go for the real thing....one ounce is about 100 calories and a lot less sodium.

    I'd probably just go as natural as you can. It usually tastes better anyway.

    Go for the strongest you can eat. That way, you get all the flavour with less of it.

    Absolutely!! European cheeses and cheeses from Trader Joe's are great because they do not have all the hormones that our American cows have!!

    Cheese is high in sodium, but it is also high in protein. Eat it, enjoy it, but don't go overboard!

    This link should help-
    http://eatthis.womenshealthmag.com/content/7-best-cheeses

    The cheeses are listed on left hand side in red
    I was reading the Super Market Eat This Not That book and it had this article
    I don't even eat cheese but thought that it was a particularly informative page

    In general, the harder the cheese, the less fat (parmesan). Sharp cheddar (and other longer-aged cheeses) are really strongly flavored, and generally require less to make things taste good. There's also a FF feta that I've heard is pretty good.
