Calories and serving size (I basically do a quick "calorie/gram" calculation in my head). I do skim the rest, but ultimately those two things are my deciding factor in buying one brand over another all thing equal. All things not equal taste ultimately always wins. You'll never catch me chewing on that so-called low fat "cheese".
