Do you  limit the amount of cheese you have per wk?   Does cheese cause you to stall in your weightloss?   I love it, but I don't want to over do it.

I have PCOS. I cant eat a lot of carbs.

So no, I did not limit my cheese. It is one of the only tasty things left in life that that FREAKING DISORDER didnt take away.

That and yummy lobster.

NOw did I eat POUNDS of cheese a day. No. But I did do a thumb sized dimension per day before working out.

Or a stick of string cheese.

I axed a lot of carbs (simple white ones) but fats I do full fat in moderation. I eat an appropriate serving size of the good stuff and am satisfied. In cooking, rarely do I make a recipe with more than 1/4 cup or so and that is a full family size recipe so my portion is maybe a tablespoon-ish.

I make cheese chips http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2016/03/healt hy-crunchy-snacks.html from time to time and those I'd eat maybe 4 (4 = 1 typical slice) with a dollop of chicken or tuna salad usually. Meal planning helps... if you sort of plan your day in advance you can see whether your day is balanced. So if I ate the cheese chip/chicken salad lunch I probably wouldn't have cheese again in breakfast or dinner type thing.

Thanks for the tips and recipe, these crackers look great!   I wannaa try them with chicken or tuna salad.   OK, I won't plan too many meals in one day with cheese to be sure i don't have problems, thanks again!

I had no probs with cheese early on.  Then at ~14 mo post surgery, I ate the cheese off a small piece of pizza. No prob for awhile, but 1-2 hr later while shopping at Macy's. I had to sit down I felt sooooo bad.  That mass of cheese was just sitting in my stomach.  I ate/drank nothing the rest of the day for that mess to work it's way through my system.  I stayed with grated cheese for a while and limit to small thin slices otherwise.  But that was prob my fault for not chewing as thouroughly as I needed to.  The cheese itself I think is OK.  But I use it to flavor, not as a mainstay of my protein sources.

Other than some brands of string cheese and low fat cottage cheese, I limited cheese intake during my weight loss phase because it did not meet my protein forward guideline (10 grams protein per 100 cals). Consequently, I used cheese as a 'condiment' - merely adding a small sprinkle for extra flavour on a protein rich food such as meat. 

Bottom line - in my personal rule book I think of cheese as a fat, so that means it's calorie dense and should be used sparingly during weight loss. Same goes for nuts. 

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.   I always keep track of my calories in myfitnesspal.

Of the healthy things that are good for braiatric patients, cheese and nuts are the most dangerous. A serving of an ounce of either one is good. But they are both things that you can easily eat a ton of, and they are very calorie dense. Those calories add up, and you can halt your weight loss or start regaining very quickly.

Thanks for your reply!   I'll keep a close watch on this, I am tracking everything in myfitnesspal, so maybe it won't be an issue for me.

I live off cheese, cottage cheese, baked brie, cheese strings, sliced cheese.  I never leave home without a baby bell or a cheese string in my pocket.

I make sure what I eat is under 20% milk fat, and I make sure I eat fruit regularly to make sure I don't get backed up.  Cheese is high in protein and is my favorite food!
