medium
  • Net carbs are total carbohydrate minus fiber: 2.3 g − 0 g = 2.3 g per 100 g. Low-carb plans usually count these.
  • Protein per 100 kcal compares how much protein each food gives for the same calories: Blue Cheese gives 6.1 g.
  • Energy density is calories per gram. At 3.53 kcal/g, Blue Cheese is medium on the CDC's scale (very low below 0.6, low to 1.5, medium to 4, high above 4); lower-density foods give a larger portion for the same calories.
