How good is goat cheese?

[ProUltraTV]

They say that goat cheese is the healthiest one, so Iwanted to ask if you can eat it on a clean diet? I know cheese is nota good food becauyse it has so much fat, but perhaps there issomething special about goat cheese that I don't know?

european cheeses are made different than most american cheese.

different cows, aged differently

as far as goat cheese it is easier to digest but cheese should be in moderation if your goal is health

I actually just recently started including goats cheese into my diet. Regular dairy really upsets my stomach but I don't have any problem with goats cheese.

You have to remember that cheese is very high in fat and calories. It's a good fat if the goat's have been grass fed but fat is fat. A little bit goes a long ways. Mindfully eat it and be conscious of your portion size.

Generally speaking - soft cheeses have the most protein and least fat per serving.

The one plus with Goats Cheese is it's lower in Lactose. That's what makes it easier to digest. As with any food, more so those with fat, it'll be ok in moderation and as part of the overall diet. Otherwise you're just adding fatty calories which will not do the diet any good.

As mentioned above, the only difference is between goat cheese and other sorts of cheese, is the lower content of lactose. So if you are like @muskate sensitive to lactose, goat cheese is a good alternative. However, it will still contain lots of fat and calories, so you need to keep it under control.

The only cheese I would ever include in my diet is cottage cheese. It is basically pure casein protein.

That's a good suggestion. Every time I tried it I had to add something as it's super bland. Feta cheese (Greek Goats cheese) can be grilled so as to cook some of the fat out.
