A member asked:

Provolone or swiss cheese better for you when your trying to lose/maintain weight? i get those slices of cheeses from the deli

A doctor has provided 1 answer

About the same: In general, cheese is not the best choice for weight loss. It's high in saturated fat and generally high in calories. One or two deli slices a day is not going to hurt, but don't overdo it.
