Aged parmesan — hard cheese, intensely flavored.
~22 kcal per tbsp grated. Strong flavor means small amounts go far.
Best for
- higher-fat protein meals — 38g protein with 29g 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 tbsp grated (~5g) 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.
