What causes the difference

In these two examples, the changes are: type and fat percentage of cheese — cheese 15% → cheddar 33%.

Slices: Cheese 15% → Cheddar 33%
  • Both examples show three similar slices. The label reads 15% fat on one and 33% on the other.
  • That works out to roughly 246 versus 403 kcal per 100 g, or about 54 versus 89 kcal per slice.
  • The lower-calorie slice also delivers noticeably more protein per calorie — the cheese is leaner.
