Cheese Please

Anybody who knows me half way decent knows I eat cheese on a regular basis. By *regular* I mean, well, at every meal. I’ve often thought about trying to go a week without cheese to see how I would feel and to see if it got rid of my all too often ‘puffy’ tummy. As I reviewed my food intake for the day I realized I really do need to diversify and come up with healthy snacks that don’t include quite so much cheese. I love cheese, I think it’s good for you for the calcium, but it does have saturated fat and there are better choices out there. Check out my day:

Breakfast:
English Muffin
1 oz ham
1 slice Provolone cheese
Coffee w/ Almond Milk

Snack:
Tangerines
String Cheese

Lunch:
Noodles with cheese, sprinkled with cheese (no, not a joke)

Afternoon Snack: (you’re never going to guess!!)
Apple
Crackers with spreadable cheese

Dinner:
2 slices lower fat bacon
1 slice cheddar cheese
2 slices bread
serving of veggies

Ice cream

In other words, with the exception of my dessert, every meal had some type of cheese in it. Since I just went to the grocery store I’ll finish up the newly bought cheese before I go on my test run without any but any suggestions here would be greatly appreciated! I like the consistency of cheese – so maybe something along the lines of hummus or something as one of my snacks. *Sigh* I never want a life without cheese but sometimes I think it's a little overboard!!
