Cheese, Cheese Products & Cheese Substitutes

Whole milk cheeses are a source of saturated fat, so choose low-fat or fat free cheese for most of your eating and snacking. Mozzarella cheese sticks make particularly convenient and healthy snacks. Occasionally, however, it's okay to enjoy a small amount of a very flavorful cheese such as blue cheese or Parmesan occasionally, because a little goes a long way to enhance the flavor of a dish without contributing a substantial amount of saturated fat.
