Whole-milk mozzarella — milder cheese, common pizza topping.

Part-skim mozzarella is ~70 kcal/oz vs 80 for whole milk. Stretches well on pizza.

Best for

  • higher-fat protein meals — 22g protein with 22g fat / 100g
  • people who under-eat fat and bounce off super-lean diets

Watch out

  • double-counting oil or butter you already logged separately
  • assuming “protein” means low calorie — fat drives energy density here
  • full-fat vs low-fat SKUs — pick the line that matches the carton

How to log it

Log the cut/state you actually have (skin-on, marbled, etc.). 1 oz (~28g) is the practical unit in the app.

Where it fits the day

Works when the rest of the day is lighter on oils and nuts. Watch the weekly fat budget, not just the meal selfie.

Cooked, grilled, fried & breaded

Fat already drives density for mozzarella (whole milk). Extra oil or breading still moves the log — typical kcal per 100g:

Sweet or creamy finishes

These are typical ranges, not lab measurements. Restaurant recipes, oils, and sauces vary — treat them as logging estimates and edit if your plate looks heavier.
