What Is The Lowest-Calorie Cheese?

Feta, ricotta, and cottage cheese are all known as low-calorie cheeses, so if you're looking to cut down on the calories whilst still getting your cheese fix, these are three good options.

The lowest calorie cheese Based on information provided by weightlossresources.co.uk, feta, ricotta, and cottage cheese are three of the least-calorific cheeses about.

Calorie-wise, they rank up like this:

• Cottage cheese-  42 calories per 50g serving.
• Ricotta- 67 calories per 50g serving.
• Feta- 131 calories per 50g serving.

All these values are based on typical brands you'd be able to buy in a supermarket, and therefore you'd probably be able to buy low-fat versions of all these cheeses that are even lower down on the calorie-scale (although I personally don't think they taste as nice!).

If you're watching your health and diet, I'd also recommend taking into consideration how much saturated fat you're eating. A diet that's high in unsaturated fat can be just as bad for you as a high-calorie regime!
