Fermented dairy is neutral for CVD risk (Drouin-Chartier et al., BMJ 2020). Per 100 g: 304 kcal, 23.6 g protein, 19.7 g fat. Mozzarella packs protein — but whole-milk and part-skim differ in fat.
How should I track Cheese, mozzarella, low moisture, part-skim, shredded?
Cheese, mozzarella, low moisture, part-skim, shredded is high in calcium. The best way to track Cheese, mozzarella, low moisture, part-skim, shredded is by weight, not volume. A 200 g serving of yogurt or cheese varies in density between brands and fat levels, so the same portion can differ by 20–40 calories. Research shows people underestimate calorie-dense dairy portions by up to 50% when eyeballing (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013). A kitchen scale keeps things honest. Also check whether the label lists values for the product as sold or as prepared — some powdered or concentrated dairy products show very different numbers once mixed.
