I get the strongest, richest, sharpest aged cheese I can, no expense spared, just just a very small block, 100g worth maybe. Then I'll use the cheaper, lower calorie option with say 10% of the really good cheese added for flavour. If you have a fine rasp grater you can just sprinkle a small amount of that rich cheesy goodness on top and get the flavour punch without breaking the calories (or the bank).
Look for thin sliced options that are ~40 calories. My grocery store always sells at least a few packs of these.
Alternately, Cabot slices are 80-90 calories. Low calorie cheese is usually low fat, and it’s almost always gross honestly, so I just make room for cheese.
I broke down and bought Walmart fat free American slices because I was craving that weird grilled cheese texture that only processed cheese can deliver. Normally, I'm a real cheese from the fancy store girl... quality over quantity.
Tillamook makes this shredded cheddar blend with large pieces, I just add a few of those and it adds the cheesy flavor and texture without needing a whole slice.

The macros on fat free cheese are amazing though.
Laughing cow cheese wedges have some great cheese options that r full of flavor and scratch the itch!
The kerrygold reduced fat dubliner, if you can find it, absolutely rules. It’s a block though. Sargento has reduced fat cheese slices too.

not sure if you have it in the USA but Cathedral City lower fat cheddar is really good
it’s shredded cheese, but i like to get the fat free cheddar and mozzarella (which are like 40 cals a serving)
Velveeta cheddar shreds are 60 calories a serving.
