Are there any *healthy* foods that are stretchy and/or creamy like melted cheese, that are NOT cheese?

Question

Cheese is my nemesis. I would lose so much weight if I could find a substitute vegetable or something!

Answer 1

Some people substitute cheese with tofu, as in lasagne, for example. I love cheese too. MMMmmm makes me want some right now. Anyway, back to tofu:

"There are four different types of tofu. They vary by firmness, texture and nutritional value.

Extra firm tofu contains less water and maintains its shape very well, making it ideal for slicing, dicing, frying and broiling. Extra firm tofu also has the most protein and fat content. It can be frozen and thawed, then added to casseroles, lasagna or spaghetti sauce in place of beef.

Firm tofu is not as dense, though it also holds its shape for slicing, dicing and frying. Firm tofu works well in desserts and dressings and as a cheese substitute, particularly for cottage cheese, ricotta or cream cheese.

Soft tofu is much less dense – ideal for blending into dressings and sauces. It can be used to reduce the amount of egg used in a recipe and to replace sour cream or yogurt. Soft tofu also is lower in both protein and fat.

Silken tofu has a much finer consistency than other forms of tofu. Silken tofu also is available in extra firm, firm and soft. It can be used in the applications listed above."

Answer 2

No. If you want to eat healthy, you can't eat cheese or cheese substitutes. You're just gonna have to delete cheese from your life. Don't buy it.
