<meta name="description" content="Cheese is a rich source of calcium and vitamin D, two nutrients that are under consumed in the U.S. diet. However, it also contains considerable amounts of saturated fat and sodium, which are consumed in excess (1, 2). Cheese is eaten alone, but it is also a common ingredient in foods, e.g., sandwiches, pizza, tacos. Consequently, measuring dietary intake of cheese is challenging. To date, total dairy intake has been reported in &ldquo;cup equivalents&rdquo;, a term that makes sense for milk and yogurt but less so for cheese (3, 4; see definition of &ldquo;cup equivalents&rdquo; on page 8). The purpose of this report is to characterize cheese intake- inclusive of cheese consumed as an ingredient- by U.S. children 2 &ndash; 19 years. Intake estimates in grams (g) are included. This analysis is based on one day of dietary intake data from What We Eat in America (WWEIA), National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017- 2018. A complementary report (Dietary Data Brief No. 61) describes cheese intake among U.S. adults.">

In the dairy group, one cup equivalent is the amount of food considered equal to 1 cup of milk. In general, 1 cup of yogurt equals 1 cup equivalent of dairy. However, translation of cheese amounts to cup equivalents of dairy varies both by cheese type (e.g., natural, processed, cottage) and the specific cheese within that type (e.g., for natural cheese, Swiss, cheddar, blue). The ranges of cheese amounts that constitute one cup equivalent of dairy are as follows: natural cheese, 1 to 2 ounces; processed cheese, 1-1/2 to 2 ounces; cottage cheese, 4-1/2 to 10-1/2 ounces (<a class="bibr" href="#usdaddb60.ref5" rid="usdaddb60.ref5">5</a>).

Likewise, in the income-specific analyses (also on page 2), individuals with missing family income information (229 children, of whom 145 were cheese consumers) were excluded. Sample weights were applied in all analyses to produce estimates that were representative of the U.S. population for the years of collection.
