I'm from WISCONSIN, for god's sake...everything you eat comes with cheese here! It's considered unpatriotic not to eat at least a pound a day (and that's just for the little kids!) However, I have been very good about restricting myself to no more than 4oz./day and no more than 2oz. at any meal (the 2oz rule is my own, so I don't "forget" and let things get out of control.) I have been using Sargento "Taco Mix" shredded cheese in omelets and on salads lately...I don't know why, but it shows half the carbs of the other shredded cheeses available. Tastes okay, too.
