Vegan cheddar-style cheese has 5 g protein and 280 kcal per 100 g. Made primarily from coconut oil and starch, it has 22 g fat – comparable to regular cheddar. Protein is 4–5 times lower than dairy cheddar (~25 g), making it a flavor substitute, not a protein source.
How should I track Vegan cheese, cheddar style?
Vegan cheese, cheddar style is high in calcium. Plant-based foods like Vegan cheese, cheddar style often come with variable water content, so weighing after draining or pressing gives you the most accurate count. Tofu blocks, for example, can vary by 30% in weight depending on how much liquid they hold. A meta-analysis of 43 RCTs (Reid-McCann et al., Nutr Rev 2025) found that soy protein matches dairy protein for muscle outcomes, so the tracking precision matters just as much as with animal sources. Also watch for marinated or flavored versions — sauces add calories that are easy to miss.
