feta cheese

About This Food

Feta cheese is a salty, tangy cheese traditionally made in Greece. With 74.8 calories per serving, it's a relatively moderate option. Feta is a good source of protein and calcium. It also contains sodium. While suitable for many, its high sodium content may not be ideal for those with sodium-restricted diets. A recommended serving is about 1 ounce per day. Its moderate calorie and fat content make it neutral for weight management. Try crumbling feta on a salad instead of higher-fat dressings for a lighter meal.
