Preparation
Swiss is a semi-hard cheese at 393 kcal per 100 g with 27 g of protein; it melts smoothly (it is the fondue cheese) and loses nothing in the pan. Because it is relatively dry, its calories are concentrated: a slice weighs less than a slice of a wetter cheese but carries about the same energy per gram as cheddar (403).
Logging this food
An ounce (28 g) is 110 kcal; a deli slice is typically 20–30 g (80–120 kcal); a cup shredded 108 g and 424 kcal. Two slices on a sandwich is 200 kcal, roughly the same as the bread. Reduced-fat Swiss runs about 270 per 100 g.
Swaps and alternatives
Swiss, cheddar, gouda and edam are all within 5–10% of each other per gram. Feta (265) and mozzarella (about 300, part-skim lower) are the lighter cheeses; cottage cheese (81) is the lighter dairy protein. Using a stronger cheese in a smaller amount is the reliable saving.
