Cheese falls into the dairy group of foods and it is recommended by the USDA to have 3 servings of dairy per day. Dairy foods provide calcium, potassium, vitamin D, and protein, and not to mention, they're very satisfying and delicious! For most cheeses, the serving amount varies, but for a cheese like feta, the serving is one ounce (also note feta is a bit higher in sodium so take care if this applies to you). For cream cheese, which is a processed cheese, the serving is two ounces. So, add a few ounces of cheese to your daily intake of delicious foods to keep your health on track! (PS. If you are vegan or choose not to eat cheese, don't forget that fortified soy products, like soy milk, also count towards the dairy intake!)
