Keto Cheese for Your Keto-Diet Cravings

Keto-diet for beginners can be quite a task. The hunger pangs can be quenched with some keto-snacks but the cravings can be impossibly hard to fight off. Keto-foods help to some extent but there's no getting around a craving. To many's surprises, Cheese can actually help out in such times and it doesn't even count as a cheat meal. Yes, Keto cheese is a real thing. 

Cheese is high in fat, moderate in protein, and low in carbs. What else can we ask for? Well, many things but this is also pretty great. 

You can add little pieces of keto cheese to your meals and you will have boosted your daily fat intake quota without pushing up those carbs. However, not all kinds of cheese are healthy and keto-friendly. 

You need to check the nutritional value of whatever is on your plate. Tracking your meals is key to a successful keto diet.

Here is a list of keto cheese that you can try to quench the cravings or just add them to your meals to fire up the low running fat:

Goat Cheese

As the name suggests, Goat cheese is made from Goat's milk. This is protein-wise different from cow's milk and has lower lactose ratio comparatively. This makes it easier to digest.

Parmesan Cheese

This Italian fellow is made of cow's milk and is aged from 1-3 years. It tastes great with mashed potatoes and macaroni. It also has more calcium to offer than any other cheesy guys out there.

Feta Cheese

The milk used is mostly of sheep. Sometimes, goat's milk is also mixed with that to attain a certain flavor. This Greek boy goes great with sandwiches, pizza, and stuffing. In case you're wondering, feta-cheese is keto-approved.

Cream Cheese

This sweet thing is made from a combination of milk and cream. It's meant to be consumed fresh. It makes Scrambled eggs and French Toast taste better.

Cheddar Cheese

This is also a great keto-cheese. It is white, off-white, or kind of golden. The orange or yellow color comes from Annatto seeds that are added to it.

Cottage Cheese

This is the salted version of Paneer that Indians are familiar with. This is great for stuffing and can be eaten with sliced bananas and crushed pineapple.

95 cal     fat 4.2g     carbs 3g     protein 11g

As a bonus, here's a secret. Keto-cheesecake is absolutely possible. Most cheesecakes are prepared without flour so tweaking it to become keto-friendly is quite easy. By not being greedy, you can make a cake with each slice of about 200 calories while keeping it below 2g of carbs. Now that is our kind of dieting. Remember starving is not keto-diet. Eat well, eat right.
