The number of calories from 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese varies drastically depending on the fat content. Clearly, the higher the amount of fat, the more calories you’ll consume from your serving of cheddar. You can cut your calories by as much as 60 percent by opting for fat-free cheddar instead of the regular type.
Calorie Comparison
One-quarter cup of regular full-fat cheddar cheese -- weighing 28 grams -- has nearly 115 calories. You can cut those calories down significantly by opting for a reduced-fat variety. The same serving size of reduced-fat cheddar cheese contains fewer than 90 calories. But if you really want to cut down on your caloric intake, opt for fat-free cheddar cheese. You’ll get fewer than 45 calories from 1/4 cup of nonfat cheddar cheese.
