That is quite a high protein level for cheese, it could be a good choice since most cheese is very low in protein.

[2guns]

is it good protein though?

i couldnt think of anything more yuk to eat, those are procesed to the max lol

[Flex]

I'd imagine the protein isn't that flash - and at 34% fat and almost 25% saturated fat it probably shouldn't be a part of most peoples diets.

2.8 grams out of 40 grams isn't 34%.

[waldo]

2.8g of fat at 9 cal per gram = 25.2 cal.

305kj / 4 = 76.25cal

25.2/76.25=33% fat

Close enough to 34% fat for me. Wouldn't put them into my diet either, although right now I wouldn't mind some!

[Pseudonym]

You know, I don't think I've ever looked at nutritional percentages on a caloric basis. Although thinking about it now, it makes perfect sense.

Still, I usually calculate my diet in grams of protein, carbs, and fat - not calories. So although the caloric percentage has made me view cheese in a different light, all I really care about is how many grams of what it gives me!

[ThatGuy]

I think he is meaning 34% of calories come from fat. If you work it out that way it also has 51.4 % of calories coming from protein. So a slice or two with a chicken sandwich can't be too bad.

its shit food imo

[deegee]

I try to stay away from all processed foods, I like cheese and enjoy it but always go for the real thing when I do treat myself

[Flex]

I second that. The only thing they're good for is making you fat.

[poos_n_wees]

Cheese is gooooood. Especially in a burger :grin:

Does anyone remember Homer Simpson and the 69 slices of cheese episode? He gets the night hunger and eats all 69 slices.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....69 slices of cheese!
