Dietary cheese: varieties, calorie content and recipes for diet
People who care about their figure usually choose all products with the lowest fat content possible. What can I say, this is the right strategy. Eat less sweets, flour products, fatty foods and add exercise - slimness will quickly appear on the horizon.
Cheese is considered a rather fatty product. Of course, it is rich in useful minerals and vitamins; There is much more protein in cheese than even in meat. In fact, cheese is considered a milk concentrate, containing 20-25% protein. For comparison: milk contains only 3.2% protein. However, in dietary nutrition, cheese consumption is severely limited or completely eliminated.
It is not necessary to do this; there is no need to deprive the body of such a useful and easily digestible product and risk your health. After all, there are low-fat and low-fat varieties of cheese; they can be an excellent alternative for a diet that limits the consumption of fatty foods.
Most of the cheeses we are familiar with have a fat content of about 50-70% (in other words, for every 100 g of product there is 50-70 g of fat). If you want to stay slim, then you should give preference to dietary cheeses with specially reduced fat content (within 20-30%). This is the product that is considered light.
There is also low-fat cheese (up to 20%). The cream is first and carefully removed from any milk, and only then is dietary cheese created. Similar products can be found in hypermarkets or specialized expensive stores. There is no doubt that this is the best option for losing weight, an ideal alternative for people trying to maintain weight.
By the way, nutritionists have long ago developed a special cheese diet, where the basis of the diet (2/3) is different types of cheese with a fat content of up to 35%. In 10 days of eating this way, you can actually lose 5 kg or more of excess weight. The emphasis is on tofu, feta cheese, goudette, ricotta, chechil, cottage cheese and other healthy cheeses with a variety of flavors, which we will discuss below. Some of them can be easily prepared by yourself at home.
Dietary cheese "Ichalki"
Finding delicious low-calorie cheese is not the easiest task. Often, such a product will have a bland taste and a not very pleasant consistency.
It is suitable for those people who watch their figure. A distinctive feature of this cheese is its low fat content.

The best low-fat cheeses
Sometimes low-fat cheeses need to be consumed not only to maintain a thin waist, but also for health reasons. Thus, therapeutic diet No. 5, used for diseases of the gallbladder and liver, also involves restriction in fatty foods (maximum 90 g of fat per day), and therefore there is a switch to low-fat cheeses in the diet. Ricotta and Adyghe cheese are perfect.
Here is a list of the most famous dietary cheeses.
This cheese is made from soy milk and is considered curd cheese. Most of all it resembles feta cheese, but unsalted. It is impossible not to note the highest content of high-quality protein; tofu can replace meat and eggs in this regard. Calorie content – up to 90 kcal. Nutritionists note the healing properties of tofu, because this cheese helps lower “bad” cholesterol and prevents vascular diseases, osteoporosis, heart problems, etc.
Tofu contains phytoestrogens, so it is an ideal dish for women with hormonal imbalances, during menopause, etc. The only “but”: tofu can contribute to excessive gas formation.
Important: this cheese can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week, be sure to store it in an aqueous solution.
Ricotta (2-24%)
True, this is not cheese, at least in our usual understanding, but rather cottage cheese. The consistency is like sandwich paste. Manufacturers often add sugar, even dried fruits, to ricotta, turning the dietary product into a curd mass. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the cheese is without these additives.
It is created from the leftover whey from other cheeses. Ricotta does not contain the usual milk proteins, there is only albumin protein, which is present in the human blood (the reason why the absorption of ricotta occurs many times faster and easier). Its calorie content is a maximum of 172 kcal.
Product reviews
Mostly they are positive. Buyers note a delicate, but at the same time rich taste, which is rarely found in dietary cheeses, and a pleasant consistency. Also an advantage for consumers is the natural composition. Of course, both low fat content and low calorie content are assessed as a positive characteristic. Cheese is consumed mainly in sandwiches (including hot ones), added to salads and made into snacks from pita bread with garlic.
Ichalki cheese is a good find for those who love to eat delicious food, but at the same time watch their figure.
