Roughly 1 ½ ounces of cheese converts to about 1 cup of dairy, so 4 ½ ounces of cheese will have you hitting your dairy goals.

While there is no official recommendation on cheese serving size, the USDA recommends about 3 cups of dairy intake per day for healthy adults.

If it was up to us, a serving size would just be the full block of cheese. For smaller amounts use ½ a cup and divide the corresponding ounces by half.

Finally, for un-grated hard cheeses like parmesan, 1 cup is equivalent to 3 ounces. For semi-hard cheeses like cheddar, 1 cup is equivalent to 4 ounces. For soft or crumbly cheeses, 1 cup is equivalent to 6 ounces. You can use a measuring cup to estimate how many ounces of cheese you have.
