Hex cheese

[Leapfrog]

Can anyone explain why some cheeses appear on both lists as healthy extras and others don't? I'm trying to see the logic, as I love cheese and am trying to stick to ee, so usually have cheese as both a hexa and a hexb choice.

Can anyone help me answer this? Or maybe ask their consultant. I don't go to class, as I live in France & my nearest group would be 6 hours away in Portsmouth lol.

Cheese is a B option on the Green plan because it contains protein. You will notice that not all the cheeses on the B list are on the A list. This is because they are high in protein, but low in calcium.

The healthy extras are foods that contain neutrients to keep us healthy, but too much of them and we gain weight.

The A list is for calcium. The B list is for carbs/protein/fibre.

Wow, thanks for the explanation Squiddie. This has been bugging me for ages.
