Now I am a firm believer in the concept of "everything in moderation" so if you love cheddar, parmesan or pepper jack, then go for it every once in awhile. But on a regular basis, try subbing Romano for Parmesan, Swiss for Cheddar, or read through the best and worst cheese comparisons below and decide for yourself!

Bottom line? Read the label of the product to better educate what you are eating. Also, check the website http://nutritiondata.self.com/ - it's awesome for checking labels of various foods. You can even change the serving size to recalculate based on what you need.
Another cheesy tip? Use 1/2 slice instead of a whole one on your sandwich :).
