  • Same milk, same three slices, same cut — the fat percent on the label is the entire story: 15% versus 33%.
  • Per 100 g that is roughly 246 versus 403 kcal, so each slice costs about 54 versus 89 kcal.
  • The lower-calorie slice also delivers noticeably more protein per calorie — the cheese is leaner.
