Cheese is always a good choice. It does not matter if it is just a matter of being part of a plate of cold cuts, enriching a recipe, stuffing something tasty or even being eaten alone, as a very tasty appetizer. And nothing like good homemade white cheese, right?
Since there is a wide variety of cheeses, it is important to know which one you will choose. If you are on a diet, for example, do not opt for the yellow versions, such as gorgonzola, parmesan and cheddar, because they are very caloric.
Anyway, there is an option for those who want to eat healthy and not give up on cheese! If so, choose the white ones. According to nutritionist Cristina Diestel, cheeses are allowed in the diet, “but it is better to opt for the leaner ones, such as ricotta, ricotta and the Minas type in its light version”.
