    Best Cheese

    I haven't had fullfat cheeses in ages... so now i'm testing and so far my favorite are edam cheese and vintage cheddar. Edam is the highest in protein i have found so far and the lowest in carbs, vintage cheddar came second.

    anyone know other cheeses that best these two in terms of protein grams and carbs?

    thanks!

    Re: Best Cheese

    oh and btw, i noticed the vintage counterparts of regular cheese types are lower in carbs. Vintage cheddar (12 years) is lower in carb than the regular kind. any idea why?

      don't worry about how much protein is in your cheese since with 4 ounces it will not be a major source of your intake just enjoy the flavor of the ones you buy.


      Since Dr Atkins created the plan and did so making cheese any chese one carb per ounce you need to count it as such unless your chees has more. cheddar is on in reality .2 carbs to the ounce but for doing our Atkins we need to count it as 1.

        Edam and Gudda are wonderful cheeses that melt spectacularly.

        ok, just my 2 cents.

          I love Muenster, Gouda (especially smoked Gouda), and Swiss.


          But that's just a taste thing.
          No stats. Not weighing anymore ever. Will post "before and after" pictures when I want to. The end.

          Vigilance, not perfection.

                  I too favor swiss and gouda... Really good parmesan or parmesan reggiano is my favorite though. I eat the stuff everyday on my salads.
