Cheese

You may read in various publications that the normal portion size for cheese is one ounce. How do you visualize this? The answer is about the size of five dice. I often encounter the "lie" or deception that this is a good source of protein. That is just a lie. An ounce of regular cheddar has 115 calories of which 81 are from fat. The rest is from carbs and protein. Remember this - cheese is primarily saturated fat. If you eat a lot of it, I promise you will never lose weight. Include it in your diet sparingly.
