What changes the calories
- Slice thickness varies a lot between brands and deli counters, so two slices can differ noticeably in calories.
- Reduced-fat or light versions have fewer calories than regular Swiss cheese because fat is the main calorie source.
- Shredded cheese is easy to over-pour, and a heaped cup packs in more than a level one.
- Melting doesn't change the calories, but butter or oil used for grilling a sandwich adds its own.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh your cheese or check the slice weight on the package rather than assuming every slice is 1 oz.
- Log the regular or reduced-fat version that matches your label, since they differ in calories.
- In BerryFit, log the cheese separately from the bread and spreads in a sandwich so each part is counted accurately.
