We wrote here that cheese is a good and quite healthy product. We gave recommendations on choosing cheese in the store and even introduced you to some manufacturers.
And if in the first article we limited ourselves to only the least fatty cheeses, in this one we will try to cover everything that is on the shelves. Let's find out the calorie content of Adyghe cheese, processed, smoked, curd cheese, feta, suluguni, mozzarella and others.
Energy value data is presented in the table. The calorie content of cheese per 100 grams is indicated. The data will be updated and expanded. Our goal is a complete review!
| Cheese | Calorie content per 100 g |
| Feta | ≈ 264 kcal |
| Mozzarella | ≈ 280 kcal |
| Ricotta | ≈ 174 kcal |
| Adyghe | ≈ 240 kcal |
| Suluguni | ≈ 290 kcal |
| Russian cheese | ≈ 363 kcal |
| Tofu | ≈ 76 kcal |
| Sirtaki | ≈ 225 kcal |
| Pigtail | ≈ 320 kcal |
| Fused | ≈ 250 kcal |
| Chechil | ≈ 313 kcal |
| Smoked | ≈ 271 kcal |
| Sausage | ≈ 271 kcal |
As you can see, the calorie content of mozzarella, feta, ricotta and tofu cheeses is relatively low, which means they can be consumed on a diet. The same applies to the Adyghe language, sirtaki. The main thing is to know when to stop.
The calorie content of hard cheese is slightly higher (if you focus on Russian cheese, at least 360 kcal per 100 grams). But smoked and sausage cheeses are not recommended at all when losing weight (they can cause fluid retention in the body). The calorie content of processed cheese is also quite high (especially with additives: ham, mushrooms, etc.).
In the table below we have provided more complete data (by manufacturer):

Is cheese a fatty product?
Those who care about their figure often have to deny themselves the pleasure of eating cheese, since it is considered an extremely fatty food. However, you should not make hasty conclusions if you come across cheese with a fat content of 45, 50 and 60% on store shelves. These numbers are indicated by manufacturers to determine the concentration of fat in dry matter. At the same time, the amount of fat in a complete fermented milk product is no more than 20-30%. In addition, you can find dietary varieties of cheese on sale with a mass fraction of fat in dry matter ranging from 18-25%.
Low-fat types of cheese differ in color - they are much lighter than varieties made from whole milk with the addition of cream. The described product is a leader in calcium content: 100 g contains 1300 mg of an important microelement, which corresponds to 130% of the required amount per day. It is absorbed only with fat-soluble vitamin D, so cheese (the BJU contained in it is ideal for saturating the body in the first half of the day) brings the human body so much calcium, as well as vitamins B, A, E and D, minerals and amino acids. As for the milk fats present in cheese, they are rich in phosphatides - components that help digest and assimilate 90% of food and ensure proper metabolism of fats in the body. In addition, milk fat has a low melting point, which further facilitates its absorption.

Benefit for health
- First of all, the product is good for teeth. After all, it contains a large amount of calcium and a small amount of lactose. Scientists have found that regular consumption of cheese reduces the risk of dental plaque. It promotes the deposition of phosphorus and calcium in the teeth, which in itself contributes to the strength of tooth enamel. A high-quality protein called casein forms a protective film on the surface of the teeth, which protects our teeth from damage.
- The use of this product is an excellent cancer prevention. It contains linoleic acid and sphingolipids. These substances protect the body from the harmful effects of free radicals. Vitamin B is also responsible for reducing the risk of developing cancer. Regular consumption of cheese improves the functioning of the body and helps to avoid tumors in the ovarian and prostate areas.
- The product is rich in vitamins, macro- and microelements, so its regular consumption improves the functioning of the body's immune system.
- Cheese contains an amino acid called tryptophan. It helps relieve stress and improves sleep.
- Children, pregnant women and the elderly should eat cheese regularly. Calcium and vitamin B are essential for the formation and strengthening of cartilage and bones. And the excipients, a considerable dose of which are contained in the product, contribute to better absorption of calcium.
- For osteoporosis, it is not enough to consume calcium (after all, it is poorly absorbed without the accompanying components). You need protein and a whole range of vitamins, with which the product is enriched. Therefore, it is worth paying special attention to cheese for children with insufficient body weight, as well as women after menopause.
- If you suffer from migraines, then you need to include cheese in your diet. Calcium has been proven to help relieve severe headaches.
- Recently it became known that the beneficial substances contained in dairy products help women around the world cope with PMS more easily.
- Cheese should be consumed regularly by pregnant women. Scientists, along with doctors, believe that protein, calcium and B vitamins are simply necessary for expectant mothers to give birth to healthy and strong babies.
- Unsaturated fatty acids contained in the product reduce the risk of developing diabetes.
- Cheese is no less useful for people who play sports. A considerable amount of protein allows the body to recover faster after intense training. Phosphorus reduces muscle pain.
- Scientists have proven that eating cheese improves heart function. Although 15-25 g of cheese per day is not contraindicated for people suffering from hypertension, they should choose a product with a low salt content. This will avoid spikes in blood pressure. A cheese diet for people with cardiovascular diseases should be based on the consumption of Feta, Mozzarella and Ricotta.
The substances contained in this product help improve the condition of hair, nails and skin. I would like to debunk the myth that cheese should not be consumed if you have skin problems. Many people think so, since it contains a considerable amount of fat. However, B vitamins contribute to the regeneration of the dermis, its natural radiance and healthy complexion. Given this fact, it is not surprising that the wine and cheese diet is so popular among Italian and French beauties.
