Cheese
Most of us have a love affair with this food, and some researchers suggest it could even have addictive qualities. But when it comes to your weight, it’s time to put the cheddar down.
Just 1 ounce of goat cheese — that’s about the size of your thumb — contains 128 calories. And 1 ounce of Parmesan contains over 100 calories. If you’re consuming cheese-laden foods during meal time, then you’re absolutely eating more than this tiny portion. You could be eating well over 300 or 400 calories in just cheese without knowing it, which can surely contribute to weight gain.
