Craving Cheese? Top 4 Low-Calorie Options Keep You on Track

wikitree Views  

There are particular diet-friendly options in cheese.

Trying to shed a few pounds doesn’t mean you have to give up on your beloved cheese. By making smart choices and incorporating them into a balanced diet, you can have your cheese and eat it too – all while staying on track with your health and fitness goals.

1. Cottage Cheese

With just 100 calories per 100 grams and 10 grams of protein, it’s a dieter’s dream. It also has a mere 4.5 grams of fat—practically angelic compared to its cheesy counterparts. But it’s packed with casein protein, which is like nature’s time-release capsule for fullness. A study from Florida State University even found that cottage cheese enthusiasts had less body fat and more revved-up metabolisms than those who skipped it.

2. Ricotta

Next up, ricotta – the fluffy cloud of the cheese world. At 160 calories per 100 grams, with 7 grams of protein and 11 grams of fat, it’s not just delicious; it’s a muscle-building powerhouse. Packed with leucine, an essential amino acid, ricotta is your secret weapon for post-workout recovery and keeping those hard-earned muscles intact. Ricotta should be the right choice if you aim to tone up while slimming down.

3. Mozzarella

Now, let’s talk about mozzarella. Yes, it’s a bit higher in calories at 280 per 100 grams, but mozzarella packs a protein punch with 28 grams per serving. Plus, it’s lower in sodium than many other cheeses, making it perfect for those watching their salt intake. And it contains gut-friendly Lactobacillus bacteria, so you’re doing your digestive system a favor with every bite.

4. Feta

Last but not least, feta contains 265 calories per 100 grams, with 14.2 grams of protein and 21 grams of fat, so it might seem like a splurge. However, the bold and salty flavor adds a burst of flavor to your meals without going overboard on calories. Sprinkle it on salads, mix it into your morning oatmeal, or use it to jazz up roasted veggies.
