Cheese Estimation!

hatman5700

I eat a 5 egg white omelet almost every morning from my work cafeteria and alternate between their mozz-cheese and cheddar-cheese...

I've been trying to glance at how much they put in and estimate based off that for my journal... but wanted a second opinion on my estimation!

About how many calories/g of Fat for cheddar/mozz is a handful of cheese (lol)?
*When it's spread over my omelet, it looks like maybe 1.5 slices melted? Maybe?

I just wanted to have confidence in what I log for cheese for the meal because i literally eat it like EVERYDAY... Might as well be right...

Shredded cheese its probably 1 serving.. which is about 28g.. Just search for any type of cheese and add it.. Not the low fat stuff cause I am sure they don't use that.

You could ask them. I bet they've been given a guideline of how much cheese to use to stay in budget.
