Fermented dairy shows no CVD risk increase (Drouin-Chartier et al., BMJ 2020). Per 100 g: 273 kcal, 19.7 g protein, 19.1 g fat. Crumbled cheese over salad is easy to over-add — weigh it.
How should I track Feta Cheese, whole milk, crumbled?
Feta Cheese, whole milk, crumbled is high in calcium. The best way to track Feta Cheese, whole milk, crumbled 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.
