Cheese is not generally desirable as a good source of protein because it is high in fat and calories compared to its amount of protein.

One hundred calories worth of cheddar contains 6.18 grams of protein. Compare that to 100 calories worth of spinach, which has 12.44 grams of protein.

Animal protein causes the acidity of your blood to rise. Your body must neutralize this acid by releasing calcium and other alkaline materials from your bones. Plant protein does not cause a loss of calcium.
