Alternative(s) to Cheese

Rocker

We are led to believe that eating cheese puts on weight. (The cheese sandwich in all it's forms is everywhere.) Ergo, stopping the consumption of cheese helps to reduce weight. But what to use in it's place? Suggestions please...

Other cheese .

You can`t replace cheese , its awesome.

Although boiled ham is less fattening and quite nice .

..especially if you put some cheese on it.

If you are 1500 calories of cheese a day, you'd lose weight-it's not the what it's the amount.

Eat less.

I need to heed my own advice btw....

I'd replace it with melted cheese.

I just don't understand the concept of replacing cheese. Does not compute.

I believe as a unit of cheese 370g is referred to as a 'Lee Roth'.

Double that is a 'Hasselhoff'.

Cheese has a lot of Calcium in it and Calcium helps weight regulation. Stopping eating cheese makes you fat!

Cheese is shit. Just give up cheese.

Nothing can compete with the glorious taste of fried halloumi. Or mozzarella. Or cheddar. Or brie etc.

Lower fat cheese. Stronger flavour cheese so you eat less. The problem with a cheese sandwich is probably more the bread.

I eat cheese every day.  Just had a quick count up and there are 7 different types of cheese in the fridge.  As a veggie i have a cheese sandwich almost every day at work.  Sometimes Ill have salad with it as well.  Its not the cheese but the rest of the food you eat.   Man can live by cheese alone - though some crackers and onion marmalade accompanying it is great as well.

It is a lot of cheese.  It's also about 80g of saturated fat, which may or may not be bad, depending which current nutritional advice you choose to believe.

One thing's certain though, it's definitely low in sugar.

I'm vegetarian as well, and could do with losing some weight.

I usually have a cheese sandwich at work (wholemeal pittas and Jarlsberg), but I really enjoy crackers or flatbread things with houmous.

Would also be interested to hear alternatives.

Tell you what, that "nutritional yeast" stuff vegans have and say is like cheese?

It's not like cheese.

It's not like anything good.
