Is mozzarella cheese junk food

Answer 1

Cheese is a dairy product. It contains many good nutrients, protein and minerals. However, it is relatively high in fat and is often added to foods that are already high in fat, such as a cheeseburger or cheesy fries. As a part of a properly prepared diet, it is a good food. Added into a high fat diet and it is not good for you.

Moderation in all things!

Answer 2

It depends on the Pizza and also on how you define junk food. A traditional Italian pizza that isn't plastered in fatty meats and sausage using good quality cheese that isn't a processed can be reasonably healthy. The traditional pizza base is quite thin where-as Pizza chains generally use thicker based made from highly refined flour.

However it's made, a pizza is made with white flour and fatty cheese so it will be less healthy than, say, a whole-meal bread sandwich with low-fat fillings like salads.

Answer 3
