Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Feta Cheese

  • Metabolic Effect: Feta cheese provides a feeling of satiety thanks to its high protein content and contributes to muscle development. However, it is important to pay attention to portion control as it is also high in fat.
  • Consumption Recommendation: It can be consumed at breakfast or in salads. It is recommended to consume it with olive oil and spices for added flavor. When consumed with bread, whole wheat bread with high fiber content should be preferred.
  • Things to Consider: Due to its high sodium content, individuals with high blood pressure should consume it carefully. One serving (30g) contains approximately 79 calories, which is equivalent to a medium-sized fruit.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories in one serving of feta cheese, you need to walk for about 22 minutes. This is an exercise that can be easily incorporated into your daily activity routine.
