Over 75% of daily saturated fat!
Bad! More 75% of daily saturated fat!
For years Saturated fat was claimed to raise cholesterol levels and give us heart attacks. Today different studies refute this claim. They say, that replacing saturated fat with carbohydrates or refined starch or sugar is not changing the heart disease risk. Not processed carbs nor saturated fats are good for you. Only if you replace it with polyunsaturated fat, you'll get a reduction in heart disease risk. So try to have a balanced diet. -
Very high cholesterol
Today cholesterol is no longer a villain. The 2010's USDA guidelines told us to limit cholesterol from foods
Now experts say cholesterol is "not a nutrient of concern" because cholesterol from foods doesn't cause higher
blood cholesterol levels.
Nevertheless try to consume no more than 300 milligrams daily.
This product has 90 mg of cholesterol or more.
How to lower the cholesterol intake? Here are some advices
- Try to limit your cheese, dairy and meat intake to one item per meal.
- Avoid meals with multiple sources of cholesterol (chicken with cheese, junk food)
- Try to indclude in your diet low- or nonfat dairy, seafood, legumes and nuts.
- Choose water instead of milk for your coffee.

Salty! Has over 21% of the daily sodium max
The average American consumes 5,000 mg of sodium daily — twice the recommended amount amount of 2400mg for healthy adults, this is 1 teaspoon of salt.
For medical reasons many people should not exceed 1500mg of sodium.
Surprisingly, you're responsible for only 15% of the sodium in your diet the bigger part - 75% of the sodium that you consume each day comes from processed foods, not home cooking or the salt shaker.
Excess sodium intake increases the risk of high blood pressure, hypernatremia, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and other heart problems.
Are these reasons enough to cut the sodium intake? No doubt! -
Convert Salt tsps to Sodium mg easily
Salt (NaCl) is not excactly sodium (Na).
It is not right to use these terms as synonyms.
The FDA recommended limit of sodium is 2,300 mg per day (or even less - about 1500 mg while one is on low sodium diets).
This is much less than the weight of salt.
(5,750 mg per day or 3,750 mg for low sodium diet) and not so convenient to calculate.
Know how much sodium is in your salt - without a calculator:
1/4 tsp salt = 600 mg sodium
1/2 tsp salt = 1200 mg sodium
3/4 tsp salt = 1800 mg sodium
1 tsp salt = 2300 mg sodium -
Interested in getting more protein?
Protein is important, but some of the protein you find in this product isn't exactly natural.
The protein comes from one of the following sources:
- milk protein concentrate
- whey protein isolate
- soy protein isolate
and that it's not ideal to get protein only from processed goods.
If you're looking for more protein, try beans, quinoa, nuts, seeds, peas and spinach & leafy greens.
Not only do they have protein, they're filled with other vitamins and minerals. -
Not a really good source of calcium!
Cheese is a generally a good source of calcium (more than 10% daily value per serving) - but not this.
If you are looking for calcium - swap for something with higher calcium content.
By the way, you don't need high fat or calories to get high calcium.
Many "lite" versions of cheese provide 30% of daily calcium needs.
Choose cheeses that are a naturally good source of calcium.
If you're worried about fat and calories, pre-sliced cheese, cheese sticks or cheese squares
are a great way to make sure your portion is the right size.
The FDA defines a serving of cheese as 1 ounce (30 grams). -
