I was just wondering how bad fat free single wrapped cheese slices are for you.

I know they are really processed , but for 30 calories, no fat, and 5g protein a slice, are they bad for you? I hear everyone say stay away from cheese, but whats wrong with those stats? + in an eggwhite ommelette or on a turkey sandwich...mmm :drool:

Anyone got the facts on cheese? :cool:

The only fact I have is that I have a slice of fat free cheese on my eggs for breakfast, on my turkey wrap at lunch and sometimes on my dinner depending what it is.

Hasn't hurt me! :tucool:

I'm not making a value judgement on this but here's something to think about: The calories in a slice of fat-free kraft cheese are 1/3 from sugar. In a 30 calorie slices there's 5 grams of protein, which is 20 calories. That leaves 10 calories for sugar.

I second karatetricker--if it's the naughtiest 30 calories you have all day, I think you're in pretty good shape :p

Agreed! And if this little indulgence makes eating cleaner throughout your day, why not do it? My weakness is ketchup, which is basically sugar, but it allows me to have a broiled chicken breast or eggs (am I weird to have ketchup on chicken and eggs?) without thinking I'm depriving myself.

If it were your only source of protein, I'd say stay away, but you seem to be using it as a flavor enhancer for healthier stuff, so indulge!:eat:

Just look at the ingredients. What does it say?

:sleep:

I believe my cheese has 1g, maybe 2g, of carbs. If 1/3 of the calories are coming from that, I'm not losing sleep over it. :nope:

No, I eat eggs w/ ketchup and tabasco sauce. Of course I use low carb ketchup.

Yeech. Eggwhite omlette w/ fat free cheese? What's the point? There is no nutrition in that whatsoever- unless you cook it in real butter...

Indeed, but add in the yolks, some turkey bacon and/or some oatmeal (and for me) and you got yourself a great breakfast! :D

No nutrition in an egg-white omelette? A cup's worth of egg whites (slightly less than 8 whites and about right for an omelette) contains 120 calories of straight up protein. Am I missing something? I thought protein was good.

He was probably referring to the fact that an egg-white omelette is made up of purely protein and every meal should ideally contain at least 2 macronutrients.

Lemme just repeat myself:

I'm not kidding... only Lucifer would do that to a fine Cottswold Cheddar... :mad:
