Dense foods cause 50–200% portion errors (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013). Per 100 g: 353 kcal, 21.4 g protein, 28.7 g fat. A 15 g crumble on salad adds about 53 kcal — small but trackable.
How should I track Gorgonzola cheese?
Gorgonzola cheese is high in calcium. The best way to track Gorgonzola cheese 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.
