Cheddar Cheese calories & macros
403 calories per 100 g · 113 calories per 1 oz (28 g). Cheddar Cheese (block).
Cheddar is calorie-dense — about 403 calories per 100 g — because it is concentrated milk fat and protein with the water removed. A one-ounce slice is roughly 115 calories, and that is the portion worth picturing, since cheese is easy to overshoot when it is grated or cubed. Used deliberately as a flavor layer, it fits a plan; eaten by the handful, it adds up fast.
