About how big is an ounce of cheese?

Does anyone have a guideline or can compare it to an object in terms of width, height, etc.

its an inch cube, so...think half an ice cube. half of your thumb.

If it's an 8 ounce block of cheese like you get at the store, I use the "matchbox" or "domino" visualization.

I think Dr Atkins once said an ounce of cheese was about the size of a pair of dice! Hope that helps!

And if you're talking sliced cheese, it's almost exactly one slice.

I bought a kitchen scale. Solved that problem.

1 ounce of cheese = a one inch square if the cheese is a solid chunk or 1/4 cup shredded (not packed).

A slice of cheese is 1 oz. A cheese snack (like, string cheese, for example) is 1 oz.

Thank you all

Easier: look on the package, and cut it into the number of ounces listed on the package. Eyeball it. It's usually 7, 12 or 20.

Way smaller than you'd like to think it is. Unfortunately.

I just by the one oz presliced slices, Makes it for easier when packing my lunch.

So true...isn't it so disappointing how small 1 oz of cheese is? I always hanker for more. There was a thread about a member eating 10 oz of cheese in one day...I have done that and could easily do it again...it isn't that much in terms of volume. I really, really have to control myself around cheese.
