Tag: Mozzarella stick nutrition

The calorie count for a single mozzarella stick can vary significantly, ranging from approximately 50 to over 100 calories, depending on its size and preparation method. The primary factors influencing the final number of calories are the cooking process (fried versus baked), the type of cheese, and the breading's composition.

Most natural mozzarella and cheddar cheese sticks contain less than 2 grams of carbohydrates per serving, primarily from natural dairy sugars. This minimal carb count makes them an excellent, satisfying snack option for many low-carb and keto diets. However, the exact amount can vary depending on the type of cheese, brand, and preparation method, especially if it is breaded.
