5. Fat-Free or Low-Fat Cheese
Cheese is full of proteins, vitamins and minerals, all of which are essential nutrients needed throughout the day. People looking for fat-free and low-fat options should take care to read the labels because cheese typically contains high amounts of fats.
Low-fat cheeses can range from 2-11 grams in protein per serving. It's important to take personal tastes in mind when comparing the varieties available at the local supermarket. Low-fat cottage cheese can offer 13 grams of protein and only 1gram of fat.
