Solution
The ricotta cheese is considered to be a better option because it is lower in energy (kilojoules) and saturated fat. Although it has a lower health star rating than the Greek-style feta cheese, it has significantly less energy, saturated fat, and sodium, which are all factors that Lisa is considering in her dietary goals. The lower levels of these components make the ricotta cheese a healthier choice.
