Where the calories come from
Calories come from three macronutrients: protein and carbohydrate at 4 kcal per gram, fat at 9 kcal per gram. For swiss cheese the split is:
- Protein: 27 g × 4 = 108 kcal — 27% of calories
- Carbohydrates: 1.4 g × 4 = 6 kcal — 1% of calories
- Fat: 31 g × 9 = 279 kcal — 71% of calories
- Most of the energy in swiss cheese comes from fat (71% of calories).
- With 27 g of protein per 100 g it counts as a high-protein food.
- That is 6.9 g of protein per 100 kcal — a useful number when protein is your target.
- For 200 kcal you can eat about 50 g.
What actually changes the number
Swiss-style cheese is 393 kcal per 100 g and a sandwich slice around 110 kcal, with 27 g protein per 100 g. It is one of the lowest-sodium cheeses, which is its real distinction.
How accurate are these numbers?
The values on this page are reference averages from the USDA FoodData Central database (SR Legacy release), measured on samples of swiss cheese as sold and prepared in the United States. Your portion will differ: produce varies by variety and ripeness, meat by cut and trim, and anything cooked by the fat and water it gained or lost.
For most foods the per-100 g figure is reliable to within about 10%. The larger uncertainty is almost always the weight of what is on your plate and the cooking fat you cannot see — the two things worth checking before you worry about the database.
