Read this post for a complete overview of the nutrition facts and ingredients in the cheddar cheese dip from Fritos.
Nutrition
Calories and nutrition facts for this dip are presented based on a single serving. One serving is measured as two tablespoons, which weighs a total of 30 grams.
Calories
One serving of mild cheddar cheese dip contains 40 calories. About three quarters (75%) of the total calories are derived from the three grams of total fat in each serving. Carbohydrates deliver about 10 calories, or 25% of the total.
The nutrition facts label provided by Fritos indicates less than one gram of protein in each serving. For the purposes of this review, I assume zero calories from protein.
The actual number may be up to four calories, but given the amount of carbs and fat, it’s reasonable to assume protein makes up no more than 5% of the total calories (if any).
- Fat: 30 calories
- Carbs: 10 calories
- Protein: 0 calories
- Total: 40 calories per serving
The caloric breakout by nutrient is a rounded estimate based on the nutrition facts label provided by Fritos.
Fat
As mentioned above, about 75% of the total calories is from the dietary fat in this dip. Specifically, one serving contains 3 grams of total fat.
The dip is made with zero saturated fat and zero trans fat.
Sodium
As with many processed and packaged foods, the mild cheddar cheese dip contains enough sodium to mention here. Each serving of two tablespoons has 220 milligrams of sodium. That’s 10% of the daily value recommended by the FDA (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).
This food product is a dip that is generally eaten with other foods such as chips, crackers, or vegetables. Many of the options, especially potato chips, also contain a substantial amount of sodium. It’s worth keeping in mind as you make a selection of which foods you eat.
For example, if I pair Lay’s Thick Cut Potato Chips with this cheddar dip, one serving of each contains a total of 380 milligrams of sodium. That’s nearly 20% of the daily value.
