Quark Cheese

I'm not really a big cheese fan, but if you are, I've come across a great cheese called Quark which could be a good addition to your diet.

It's a soft, creamy cheese that's low in fat and high in protein. I've managed to get some low fat Quark which is a minuscule 0.05g of fat per 100g. If you're on a high protein diet, it's good because it's got a high protein content for a cheese (about 13.5g per 100g).

Since it's creamy, I drop a big spoon of it in a chicken salad and mix it in. It's also good as a sour cream replacement in fajitas.

Unfortunately you can't grate it and put it on a pizza, but that's the compromise of losing weight I guess.
