I do not yet have a kitchen scale. Can someone tell me how many Tbs. 1 oz of shredded cheese is?

    actually, an ounce of cheese is generally 1/4 cup which is 4 tablespoons.

    You know, after I posted this question I went and looked at the back of the bag of shredded cheese. I don't know why that didn't occur to me before asking. Anyway, you are right. It said 1/4 cup is 1 oz.

    It depends on whether the cheese is shredded or not. 1/4 cup shredded, but if it's not shredded, you are looking at something closer to a 1/8 cup size. Of course, this depends on the fat content and density of the cheese itself.

    Yes cottage cheese low fat 1% milk fat- Small curd. Mine specifically from Walmart (great value) which I don't think it matter the brand. It's 80 calories for 1/2 cup which is not to bad. 5 carbs, 13g protein, and 1.5g of fat, 1g saturated fat per serving.

    I find lowfat cottage cheese awful but I love full fat!

    In my experience, it's closer to 1/3 cup of cheese when shredded, but it will depend on the cheese and the shredder too...

    Go for an extra mature cheese and that way less is more :smile:
    Perhaps it's time to get yourself a food scale, they are so cheap, I paid £10 for my digital ones a few years ago, very enlightening :smiley:
