Quick question...


When I want to have cheese with a meal, do I count that as an unlimited protein, or as a fat?  I think it would be considered a protein, just not sure. 


Thanks for reading!  :)

Cheese is considered a protein, so technically its unlimited. Be careful though because cheese is calories dense and can lead to weight stalls. It's not really a big deal while you're in phase one, but once you get into phase two you may want to cut back if you notice you're not losing weight.
