    How many servings are in the pack? If there are only 6 servings then each cube is probably 80 calories. In the round box of wedges, each wedge has 35 calories.

    I've never seen the cubes! But if it says 1 portion being 6 cubes, then I would say that it is 80 cals. How many servings in the package?

    This says they're 14 ea. ... which is how I've always considered them. I can't imagine that's 80 calories a piece, because if nothing else, can you imagine how sick we'd get from it??

    they could be 80 easily because one slice of cheese u know the wrapped american is near 100 calories and I know that its considered a flattened out cube...i read that the other day in a fitness mag...im willing to bet 1 cube is 80 calories

    Hmmmm this would make sense...because....14 X 6 is 84....soooo...maybe it IS right? Oh please tell me i didnt eat almost 500 calories in cheese! hahahahaha

    Do you mean the LC cheese bites? They are small cunes wrapped individually, about 1/2 square inch? If that is what you are talking about, I just bought a package of the light cheese bites today and it say on the wrapper that 5 bites equals 1 wedge. The nutritional info on the pack says:
    Serving Size: 5 pieces, servings per container, 5
    Calories 35, Fat 2 g, Sat Fat 1 g, Cholesterol 0, Sodium 300 mg, Carbs 1 g, Sugar 1 g, Protein 3 g

    Hope this clears things up!

    Definitely clears things up...if its 35 cal for 5 of the light ones...then it sounds right it would be 80 for the regular NOT light ones....Yippeee...i did NOT eat 480 calories of cheese! (although I could I'm sure!hahaaha) Thanks so much for all the input!
