The protein in cheese is of a high quality and contains all the essential amino acids required by the body for optimum growth, for this reason more of the cheese proteins are used for protein anabolism so there's less chance the protein in cheese will be converted to fat and stored.

The downside is cheese contains high fat levels so for weight loss it would be best to keep cheese portions down to a minimum. To obtain a complete protein source its much better to combine plant foods as these are very low in calories and contain more fiber.

All plant foods have a lower biological quality for protein as they lack certain amino acids required by the body however what some plants lack in others have in abundance so its possible to find foods that complement each other to make a complete protein source.
