Is string cheese considered a “good food” considering that most string cheese brands have about 80 calories, 40-50 of those from fat, and anywhere from 6-10 grams of protein?

Good to know that a childhood classic is still on-the-menu.

No shit! Don’t be afraid to make the move to real cheese some day… 
If you look around there are low fat versions available.

Why would you eat a low fat cheese?
Check the sodium levels if that matters to you, otherwise it’s fine.
I don’t think it’s particularly tasty cheese, myself, but it’s convenient so I guess it has it’s place.

ditto…
personally I’m skeptical of anything labeled “low fat” or “zero fat”, not just because it usually means it’s made in a newfangled less natural way, but also because I still remember seeing sweets with large letters on the bags saying “ZERO FAT”.
Even if cheese has a lot of saturated fat, I’m not afraid of it… it wasn’t until they invented margarine that clogged arteries became a pandemic…
The harder the cheese the better.
I usually go through two or three bags of string cheese a week. It’s my favorite snack.

The OP appeared to be concerned about fat content, this is an alternative.
