Cheese and milk and yogurt

[wakatak87]

For those of us that arent afraid of dairy...


Is cheese pointless as a source of nutrition when you already have yogurt and milk? I know yogurt is important cause of the bacteria, but doesnt cheese just contribute calcium and protein, which you can already get from less fatty sources (low fat milk)?

Thanks

They're many types of cheese. Most cheeses are just terrible because they've got too many grams of saturated fats in them...

HOWEVER..... fat free cream cheese, fat free cheddar cheese, ricotta cheese or cottage cheese make an excellent addition to a diet as a source of milk protein minus the fats and the carbs. In fact, skim milk will have carbs you don't really need (lactose) while these cheeses are 90% protein, making them better while also adding variety to one's diet....although you may want to watch the salt...which is a moot issue if you're well hydrated

Ah the fat free stuff. I tried the kraft kind and it was almost sour tasting. Expensive too! If I ever need an extra protein source Id definitely consider it though.
