Thread: Fat-free Cheese and Cholesterol

I bought some fat-free mozzarella cheese and was wondering...
1) Is this a good source of protein, since

a) it is fat-free
b) has less than 1 gram of carbs per serving and
c) 7 grams of protein per serving.

2) Is this high in cholesterol because I would think that the cholesterol in cheese is in the fat. The mozzarella I found didn't say anything about cholesterol, but other types of cheese that were fat free had a "low cholesterol sign on it".

Thank for any information.

exactly. just eat the regular cheese and compensate for the extra fat by eating less fats elsewhere. and don't forget moderation!
