Tis true but 8 oz. weight is different than 8 oz. liquid... unless you're measuring water or something like water in form/density. (Geek mode on.)

Unfortunately:

8 oz. weight Low-fat Cheddar -- 392 Cals

Versus the shredded into 1 cup at 195 Cals ;) Boohoo!


We were never discussing liquid measurements since cheese is a solid and the rest of your post was merely restating what I had already said. So geek mode was unnecessary but charming, in your inimicable way, nonetheless.

Hmmm. I have been measuring my cheese with a scale.

Foiled again! No wonder I don't feel as flat-bellied as I usually do when on MF. Now I will be really mad if I have not lost anything in my first week back.

I suck.

Um...

Dear Biki, this was not directed AT you but others who might need to know... like maybe Dark as illustrated above ;)

And I also saw some confusion between oz. as a serving size compared to the ounces in a cup, when the ounce serving size for a cheese is referring to weight, not 1/8 of a measuring cup. Obviously this can be a bit confusing if one weighs 8 oz. of cheese thinking it equals 1 cup and is the ok amount for a Lean & Green.

Basically one should not equate 8 oz. weight with 8 oz. volume. That is all.

Next time I will not quote you when I'm just responding to a general idea and providing some info so as to avoid you thinking I'm jumping on you. Ok? Peace out.

I am going to check again but I think that is what is says...UPDATE: Just checked the L&G protocol on the FAQ board and it says a cup of LF cheese is an acceptable substitute. Let's see a teeny veggie burger or a WHOLE cup of cheese!!! Just seems like a lot to me. Isn't an oz of cheese a serving?


Personally, I use 1/2 C Lowfat cottage and then sprinkle 1/2 C cheese on the salad. Or I'll have 3.5 oz chicken with 1/2 C cheddar or something like that. I could do 1 C of cheese, but would rather mix it with cottage or chicken.

Well, honestly, I found your first reply pretty mean and offensive... what's up with that?

Well, honestly, that was not my intention. Mean? Offensive? For saying "geek mode" was unnecessary in this case? I didn't realized you held it so dear. What's up with that? I am sorry you feel that way. Perhaps you are overly sensitive or I am not sensitive enough. Either way, I do apologize. Ok, peace. Maybe it will stick this time.

No, for it being condescending and dismissive. Like this apology.

Come on Biki, you're shocked someone finds you abrasive? I've seen it come up elsewhere on the forum, so it ain't just me being a fragile flower.

I find it too bad that you feel the need to be hostile to me for being honest.

I am not shocked at all. The only shocking thing to me is that two grown women would spend a 24 hour span going back and forth over cheese. My apology was sincere because I do not wish to spend another moment of my life discussing dairy products. You were the one who claimed we had peace over this issue yesterday. So who was being insincere? Enough. Please find something else to obsess about besides me and cheese.

Ok, guys, as a moderator for Unca, I have to say it is time for us to either continue talking about my yucky Spanish flounder, or end the conversation.
