May I ask? Most days you seem to eat 3 slices of f/f cheese. How big is
a
slice? Is it a particular cheese? I have a picture in my head of those
processed slices and I'm sure that's not right. Is it because of your
weight lifting and needing the protein? It's just that I love cheese and
find I do need to limit it to treats.

These are processed slices -- 3/4 oz. each. What probably wasn't
clear to you is that I'm using "f/f" as an abbreviation for fat-free.
These really aren't nearly as tasty as real cheese, but I too love
cheese and like these as a substitute that I can eat freely. Each
slice has 30 calories, with 0 fat, 2 grams carbs, and 5 grams protein,
so the nutritional profile fits my eating goals quite well (and
they're a good source of calcium). I do try to get a good amount of
protein because of the weight lifting, but I couldn't eat this amount
of regular full-fat cheese without exceeding my desired calorie
levels. I do indulge in real cheese a few times a month when I go to
wine tastings, but don't make a regular practice of it.

Ah that makes a lot more sense! I was reading f/f as full fat and thinking
"that just can't work"!
