And fat free or low fat chesse is a good source of protein.
Just make sure you get some fiber in there. Cabot makes an excellent lower
fat cheddar. Here is some good info on the product and ways to cook with it.

Per 100 grams, that's true. But it's deceptive. Eggs contain more
than twice as much water as cheddar cheese, and as to actual
macronutrients, the protein:fat ratio is much higher for eggs.

Cheddar Cheese (100 grams):

Water (grams) 36.75
Protein (grams) 24.90
Total Lipids - Fat (grams) 33.14

Egg, Raw (100 grams):

Water (grams) 75.33
Protein (grams) 12.49
Total Lipids - Fat (grams) 10.02

Sure, if the rice is uncooked. But who eats uncooked rice? When both
are cooked, the numbers are a lot closer.

White rice, cooked (100 grams):

Energy (kcal) 97

Potato, baked (100 grams):

Energy (kcal) 93
