Cheese… just thinking about it makes my mouth water! It has the unique power to transform a simple meal into a decadent delight. I love snacking on it, adding it to my lunch, or making it the star ingredient in my dinner creations. Not to mention, I love trying out new pairing ideas. With over 1,750 types of cheeses around the world (you read that correctly), there are almost an unlimited number of ways to enjoy this versatile food. The good news doesn’t stop there, there are a ton of cheesy options that are lower in calories for those who are continuing to rock new year’s resolutions (go you)!

1. Parmesan

Calories per serving: 20*

Serving size: 1 tablespoon

With only 20 calories per tablespoon, Parmesan is the perfect addition to enhance your pasta dish or hearty soups! Not only is parmesan low in calories, but it’s high in protein which helps to keep you satisfied longer.

A healthy side dish with cheese for you family dinner.

2. Part-Skim Mozzarella

Calories per serving: 70-80

Serving size: 1 slice/stick

Part skim mozzarella cheese packs 70 calories and whole milk is just 85 calories per slice. Mozzarella sticks make for a good, low calorie, grab & go or pre-workout snack! One low-fat mozzarella stick has only 80 calories and provides 7 grams of protein and 222 mg of calcium.

Make it a flatbread night.

3. Camembert

Calories per serving: 85

Serving size: 1 oz. (about the size of your thumb)

I like to think of Camembert as Brie’s sassy cousin. At just 85 calories per ounce, choose this cheese for that soft brie texture with a little extra bite. A spread with Camembert cheese paired with apples is the perfect (and easy) appetizer if you’re hosting guests.

Dessert panini? Yes please.

4. Swiss cheese

Calories per serving: 100

Serving size: 1 slice

One slice has approximately 100 calories – holy cow (er, cheese)! Increase your intake of calcium and protein by adding a slice of Swiss cheese to a sandwich or burger. Swiss cheese is also the perfect option if you are watching your sodium intake.

Host your upcoming party with this fondue.

5. Cottage Cheese

Calories per serving: 164

Serving size: 1 cup

Dieters eat your heart out! At just 164 calories for a full cup, cottage cheese is high in protein (which again keeps you full longer), low in fat (make sure to buy the low-fat variety) and low in carbs. Enjoy it by itself or add vegetables or fruit for a healthy lunch or snack with cheese.

A fun spin on pancakes.
