Is cheddar cheese good for meal planning?
Cheese is calorie-dense, which makes it easy to over-portion when grating, snacking or topping meals. Weighing it once or twice gives you a realistic feel for what 30 g actually looks like.
Reduced-fat cheddar is a reasonable swap if you eat cheese often. Strong cheese in smaller amounts is also a good way to keep flavour while cutting calories.
How to use cheddar cheese in a meal plan
- Small portion grated over a baked potato or chilli
- Cubes paired with apple as a snack
- Light cheese-and-tomato omelette
- Sprinkled into salads instead of dressing
