Regular cheddar — sharp and mild are nutritionally the same; aging changes flavor, not macros. Pre-shredded bags often add starch as an anti-caking agent.

How does cheddar cheese fit your goals?

Most of the calories in cheddar cheese come from fat (9.5g per 1 oz (28g)), which makes it calorie-dense — easy to under-portion if you're eyeballing. Dietary fat is essential for hormone production and absorbing fat-soluble vitamins, but at 9 calories per gram it's also the macro most people accidentally over-consume when they stop weighing portions.

Diet-wise, cheddar cheese fits keto, low-carb, and vegetarian eating patterns.

Micronutrients worth noting

Beyond the macros, cheddar cheese pulls real weight on calcium (15% DV) per 1 oz (28g) — the kind of micronutrient density that calorie counts alone don't show.
