I have a big smile on every time I walk through the cheese isles at markets, knowing that it’s an endless universe of possibilities.
Cheese is a great vegetarian source of protein, calcium, fat, enzymes, and flavor! and most of it is keto friendly!
💪🏼😋👍🏼
however, not all cheese is created equal when it comes to keto dieting. The most ideal cheese is like the one I had for lunch today, pictured here, because it had ten grams of fat per 5 grams of protein, and only one gram of netCarbs.
It doesn’t mean that I can’t have other cheese, because I do plenty of that, with those I have to consume additional sources of fat.
basically, when shopping for cheese, always choose ones where the fat content is the highest, preferably 2:1 fat to protein or higher, and minimum to no carbs.
here is a list of some cheese I know of that is keto friendly:
Brie
Cream Cheese
Havarti
Ricotta
cheese that has a 1:1 ratio ( not keto, but can be used with addition of oil or fat):
Mozzarella
Parmesan
Cheddar
Swiss
Cheese that is usually higher in protein than in fat:
Feta
Haloumi
Low-fat cheese ( yuck )
