When did you get to add string cheese? - Page 2 - ThinnerTimes

Jules,
It's a type of mozzarella cheese that is about 3 inches long and round, and you peel off bits of it in strings. Kids love it 'cause it's like playing with your food. We love it 'cause it's high in protein, lower in fat.

Hey Jules,
How ya feeling?

String cheese...(at least in Missouri)...is basically a cheese stick (approx 4 inches long) that comes individually packaged. You can pull small, long pieces off that resemble a string.

Am I the only one who does not like it. I did before surgery but not now. It tastes funny and feels funny in my mouth.

Ryndi, that's why I melt it with some cooking spray and some teriyaki or italian spices. I use string cheese because (a) it's pre-measured, one ounce per stick (b) and I can get it in much lower fat than other cheeses. I can eat it in small amounts cold, but it tastes and feels much better melted...

. When you're getting 27 grams of protein in three ounces of food, it's a pretty good deal for us...

Lisa what brand do you use? Mine only has 7 grams per stick/oz. I use Polly-O

The low fat frigio has 9 g protein per stick

Hey Dara,

How about you my string cheese partner in crime. Every time I eat string cheese, I think of you because I can eat quite a few in one day. I remember when I could only eat 1/2 of one.
