Dairy protein scores DIAAS 0.95–1.0 (Herreman et al., Food Sci Nutr 2020). Per 100 g: 268 kcal, 18.5 g protein, 21.1 g fat. Goat cheese protein quality matches cow cheese.
How should I track Goat Cheese, soft?
Goat Cheese, soft is a good source of protein. The best way to track Goat Cheese, soft 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.
