That\u2019s a question that\u2019s been asked for years. What does science say? The truth is, there are a lot of factors that contribute to weight gain, and it can be hard to pinpoint one specific food or food group as being the main culprit. However, studies have shown that diets high in saturated fats from animal sources such as cheese tend to lead to weight gain. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we will explore how much cheese contributes to weight gain and whether or not cutting back on your consumption could help you lose weight, so read on!<\/span><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Does_Cheese_Make_You_Fat\" target=\"_blank\"><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" width=\"777\"><source src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4-2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><\/a>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Eating_Cheese_By_Itself_Make_You_Fat\"><\/span><b>Does Eating Cheese By Itself Make You Fat?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cheese is high in fat, specifically saturated fat. A diet high in saturated fats can lead to weight gain and obesity, particularly around the midsection (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/20934605\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). However, there are many factors involved, including metabolism, activity level, and genetics. While eating cheese won\u2019t directly make you gain weight on its own, it can contribute to weight gain if not eaten in moderation, as part of a well-balanced diet that includes lots of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cheese is also high in sodium, which can lead to water retention and <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/is-barley-gluten-free\/\">bloating<\/a> (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsph.harvard.edu\/nutritionsource\/cheese\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). While this may not directly cause weight gain, it could make you feel bloated and self-conscious which is never a good feeling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For people with lactose intolerance, cheese can cause gas, abdominal bloating, and cramping as well as diarrhea. Lactose intolerance has been linked to irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, skin rashes such as eczema and psoriasis, bronchial asthma, and even hay fever (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/9467238\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Does_Cheese_Make_You_Fat\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29969 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Frame-3811.png\" alt=\"does cheese make you fat\" width=\"941\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Frame-3811.png 941w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Frame-3811-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Frame-3811.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 941px) 100vw, 941px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Cutting_Back_On_Cheese_Help_You_Lose_Weight\"><\/span><b>Does Cutting Back On Cheese Help You Lose Weight?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are looking to lose weight, there is good news. Cutting back on the amount of cheese you eat each day can help you lose weight or even prevent it from packing in the first place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some tips for cutting back on cheese or incorporating it into your diet in a healthy way:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_Low-Fat_Cheeses\"><\/span><b>Choose Low-Fat Cheeses<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because most cheese is high in total fat, choosing <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/1200-calorie-diet-meal-plan-14-days\/\">low-fat varieties<\/a> may help you reduce your fat intake. Low-fat cheeses include cottage cheese, part-skim mozzarella, and American cheese. Swiss-cheese has 5 grams of saturated fat per 1-ounce serving, cottage cheese (reduced fat) has 1 gram of saturated fat per 1-ounce serving, ricotta (part-skim) has 6 grams of saturated fat per \u00bd cup serving, while mozzarella (part-skim) has 3 grams saturated fat per 1-ounce serving (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.psu.edu\/selecting-cheese-for-health\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">14<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eat_Cheese_As_A_Snack_In_Place_Of_Processed_Ones\"><\/span><b>Eat Cheese As A Snack In Place Of Processed Ones<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cheese is a great source of protein and calcium, which are both <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/1200-calorie-deficit\/\">essential nutrients<\/a> that you need to build muscle after exercise. You can use cheese as a healthier alternative to processed snacks such as greasy chips. Use whole-grain crackers with part-skim mozzarella or Swiss cheeses for dipping in salsa, guacamole, hummus, or fruit preserves.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Snack_On_Small_Amounts_Of_Cheese_Instead_Of_Large_Ones\"><\/span><b>Snack On Small Amounts Of Cheese Instead Of Large Ones<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for a quick snack during the day and craving something cheesy, stick to low-fat varieties like feta and goat cheese, which contain around 6 grams total fat per ounce, whereas cheddar has 9 grams total fat per ounce serving (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.psu.edu\/selecting-cheese-for-health\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">14<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

It originated in Italy and is usually made from Italian buffalo or cow\u2019s milk. It is lower in sodium and calories than most other cheeses and is used in traditional Italian dishes like lasagna and pizza.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Does_Cheese_Make_You_Fat\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32951 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/3-1-5-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"macrobiotic diet\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/3-1-5.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/3-1-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/3-1-5.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/3-1-5-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/3-1-5.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blue_Cheese_100_calories_per_ounce_14\"><\/span><b>Blue Cheese (100 calories per ounce) (<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.psu.edu\/selecting-cheese-for-health\"><b>14<\/b><\/a><b>)<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blue cheese, or bleu cheese, also called Roquefort, Gorgonzola, Stilton, Danish Blue, and Fourme d\u2019Ambert has a very strong flavor. It is made from cow\u2019s milk that is left to ferment with mold spores until it forms its soft veins of blue-green mold within the cheese. The veining occurs after the cheese is removed from its surrounding paste during aging.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The name comes from the French term \u201cbleu\u201d which means blue because of the color of the mold veins in this kind of cheese. This type of cheese can be crumbled over salads, baked potatoes, and steaks. While often high in sodium, it also provides calcium, phosphorus, vitamin A, and Riboflavin. It\u2019s strong flavor means you don\u2019t need a large portion to pack a punch.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Feta_75_calories_per_ounce_14\"><\/span><b>Feta (75 calories per ounce) (<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.psu.edu\/selecting-cheese-for-health\"><b>14<\/b><\/a><b>)<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feta is a crumbly cheese made of cow\u2019s milk or sheep\u2019s milk which originated in Greece. It has a sharp flavor with a briny, tangy taste. It was developed over several centuries BC on the plains of Greece near Mesopotamia. Since feta is packaged in brine to preserve freshness, it can be high in sodium. However, it is typically lower in calories than many other cheeses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cottage_Cheese_81_calories_per_ounce_14\"><\/span><b>Cottage Cheese (81 calories per ounce) (<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.psu.edu\/selecting-cheese-for-health\"><b>14<\/b><\/a><b>)<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cottage cheese is a low-fat dairy product that is made from curdled milk drained through a fine cloth to produce solid cakes of pressed curd called \u201ccurds\u201d. The curd is then cut into small cubes, which are drained and further pressed. Salt is usually added before packaging. It is commonly eaten as a snack with fruit or vegetables, on top of salads, dips, desserts, or even with pasta dishes for additional protein.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ricotta_Cheese_180_calories_13\"><\/span><b>Ricotta Cheese (180 calories) (<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/441089\/nutrients\"><b>13<\/b><\/a><b>)<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ricotta cheese is an Italian cheese that has become very popular in the United States over the last few decades due to its delicate sweet flavor, which makes it perfect for adding to pizzas, lasagna, white sauce pasta, and casseroles without overpowering the other ingredients.

Many people like to eat it as a snack, although it is often added to pasta, risotto, and salads or mixed with breadcrumbs and used for garlic bread or crumb coating. It has a strong full flavor, which makes it perfect for use on top of pizzas instead of using mozzarella because parmesan can withstand higher heat without turning rubbery, unlike mozzarella cheese would do under such conditions. Because of its strong flavor, only a small amount is usually needed to accent a dish, which means you won\u2019t be adding a ton of calories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for a way to <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Does_Cheese_Make_You_Fat\">break the vicious cycle of weight loss<\/a> and tone up all the jiggly parts?

Swiss cheese originated in Switzerland, but it is now made around the world. It has a mild flavor with a sweet, nutty taste that goes well on sandwiches or melted on vegetables or meats.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cheddar_Cheese_115_calories_per_ounce_14\"><\/span><b>Cheddar Cheese (115 calories per ounce) (<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.psu.edu\/selecting-cheese-for-health\"><b>14<\/b><\/a><b>)<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cheddar cheese is one of the most popular cheeses worldwide and is often used as a staple ingredient in many dishes such as soups, salads, and grilled sandwiches because of its mildly sharp flavor and rich creamy texture when baked. Cheddar is made from cow\u2019s milk by adding rennet to turn it into curd and then remove the liquid or whey until only the solid remains. After the remaining curds are cut into small pieces, they are heated with a little bit of salt to produce a mash which is later pressed together to form a block.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Goat_Cheese_75_calories_per_ounce_14\"><\/span><b>Goat Cheese (75 calories per ounce) (<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.psu.edu\/selecting-cheese-for-health\"><b>14<\/b><\/a><b>)<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Goat cheese, also known as chevre, ch\u00e8vre, and Fromage de ch\u00e8vre has been around for at least 8000 years, although its history is not well documented. It comes in soft, semi-soft, and hard varieties, depending on its age and processing methods. It has a mild flavor that makes it great for cooking and eating like regular cheese, but because of its delicate tangy flavor, it goes well with fruit, vegetable salads, and fresh bread.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Does_Cheese_Make_You_Fat\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31390 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4359-1024x576.png\" alt=\"does cheese make you fat\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4359.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4359-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4359.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4359.png 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Health_Benefits_Of_Cheese\"><\/span><b>Health Benefits Of Cheese<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dairy products are one of the best dietary sources of calcium and other nutrients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are eight ways in which cheese might be healthy:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bone_Health\"><\/span><b>Bone Health\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calcium is essential for <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/zucchini-weight-loss-recipes\/\">healthy bones<\/a>.

That\u2019s a question that\u2019s been asked for years. What does science say? The truth is, there are a lot of factors that contribute to weight gain, and it can be hard to pinpoint one specific food or food group as being the main culprit. However, studies have shown that diets high in saturated fats from animal sources such as cheese tend to lead to weight gain. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we will explore how much cheese contributes to weight gain and whether or not cutting back on your consumption could help you lose weight, so read on!<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Does Eating Cheese By Itself Make You Fat?<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cheese is high in fat, specifically saturated fat.

While this may not directly cause weight gain, it could make you feel bloated and self-conscious which is never a good feeling.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For people with lactose intolerance, cheese can cause gas, abdominal bloating, and cramping as well as diarrhea.
