I'm not going to lie to you — I love cheese. I use it all the time to add a hint of flavor, protein, calcium, and cheesy goodness to my foods. I honestly believe that cheese makes everything better. I also love anything that makes my life easier, so every week, I buy bags of shredded cheese to sprinkle on my salads, soups, sandwiches, pasta, and omelets.
When I walked down the dairy aisle, there's a huge variety of shredded cheeses, and I wondered how they compared nutritionally. So I decided to make this handy chart of Kraft shredded cheeses. For all the 8-ounce packages, the serving sizes varied between either seven, eight, or nine servings per bag. I did some calculations to make it easier to compare them, so all these numbers are based on 1-ounce serving sizes.
| Serving Size = 1 ounce | Calories | Total Fat (g) | Saturated Fat (g) | Cholesterol (mg) | Sodium (mg) | Carbs (g) | Protein (g) |
| Kraft Mild Cheddar | 112 | 9 | 6.8 | 25 | 33.8 | 1 | 6.8 |
| Kraft Mild Cheddar Finely Shredded | 110 | 9 | 6 | 25 | 180 | 1 | 6 |

wow, I'm totally getting the 2% from now on. How does the part-skim mozzarella have more cholesterol than the regular though?
