Weight Loss
Blue cheese is calorie-dense, but its intense flavor means a little goes a long way. Use 15-20g crumbled over salads or steaks — you'll get maximum taste impact for about 50-70 calories.
Muscle Gain
With over 21g of protein per 100g, blue cheese is a solid protein contributor when used generously. Melt it over burgers or stir it into pasta sauces for extra protein and calories in a surplus.
Maintenance
Blue cheese adds gourmet flair to everyday meals. A small amount crumbled into salads, melted on steaks, or mixed into dressings elevates meals while contributing protein and calcium.
