Amul Cheese Nutritional Facts | Melted Dairy Math

A standard Amul cheese slice has about 62 kcal with around 4 g protein and 5 g fat in a 20 g square, plus calcium and salt in a tiny portion.

What You Get In One Slice Of Amul Cheese

One Amul slice weighs close to 20 g. That single slice gives about 62 kcal, around 5 g fat, close to 4 g protein, under 0.3 g carbs, and about 250 mg sodium. The calorie split leans heavy on fat, with only a trace of carbs and a steady hit of dairy protein.

The same cheese sold as a block or cube lines up near 314 kcal per 100 g, with about 26 g fat, 20 g protein, and 1.5 g carbs. Sodium in that 100 g range lands near 1,200 to 1,400 mg, which is salty for the weight. Protein sits around 20 g per 100 g, which puts this dairy block in the same protein zone as many processed cheddar-style slices sold worldwide.

Serving Style	Calories	Protein
1 slice (~20 g)	~62 kcal	~4 g
1 cube (~25 g)	~80 kcal	~5 g
100 g block	~314 kcal	~20 g

Those numbers come from Amul processed cheese spec sheets, which list energy near 314 kcal per 100 g along with about 26 g fat, 16 g saturated fat, 20 g protein, and 1,400 mg sodium. You can read these product specifications at the Amul processed cheese page (product specifications).

In plain terms, each small square is calorie dense, salty, and protein rich for the size. That is why one slice can round out toast, roti, omelets, parathas, or instant noodles without much volume. The flip side: two or three slices stack fast on sodium and fat.

Amul Cheese Nutrition Breakdown For Daily Use

Macronutrients At A Glance

Most of the energy in this cheese comes from milk fat. A 100 g block has about 26 g total fat, out of which close to 16 g is saturated fat. The rest is mostly water, milk protein, and minerals. Carbs sit low, near 1 to 2 g per 100 g, so the slice fits low carb patterns that skip bread and sugar.

Protein in this cheese sits near 20 g per 100 g. That lines up with many semi-hard dairy styles where protein falls between 14 g and 25 g per 100 g. One 20 g slice gives about 4 g protein, so two slices can match the protein in a small egg.

Calcium And Bone Health

Cheese is known as a dense calcium source, since cheese is concentrated milk solids with water pressed out. Dairy like cheese brings calcium that helps build and keep strong bones, muscles, and nerves. Amul processed cheese lists about 343 mg calcium per 100 g. That means a single 20 g slice lands near 70 mg calcium, and two slices get you around 140 mg.

Most adults need around 1,000 mg to 1,200 mg calcium per day, depending on age and sex. A couple of slices plus milk or yogurt can move you toward those daily calcium recommendations (daily calcium recommendations).

Calcium needs climb for teens, older adults, and post-menopausal women, who often get guidance to raise intake of calcium and vitamin D. Cheese can help fill that gap, though leafy greens, fish with soft bones, and fortified foods round out the plan too.

Sodium, Fat, And Saturated Fat Numbers

Dairy slices taste salty because they carry emulsifying salts and added table salt. One Amul slice holds about 250 mg sodium. Scale that to a 100 g block and you reach around 1,200 to 1,400 mg sodium, which already hits about half of a common 2,300 mg daily sodium limit used on many nutrition labels.

Fat is the second lever. A 20 g slice brings roughly 5 g fat, with about 3 g from saturated fat. Saturated fat stays under watch in many heart-friendly eating plans, since high intake has been linked with higher LDL cholesterol. The cheese also holds around 15 mg cholesterol per slice and about 70 mg cholesterol per 100 g.

Salt Load Per Slice

Two slices in a grilled sandwich can top 500 mg sodium before you even count bread, pickle, or ketchup. That kind of meal tastes great and feels handy, but it can nudge blood pressure upward in people who need to limit salt. A quick way to cut that salt load: pair one slice with fresh tomato, cucumber, or lettuce instead of stacking two slices.

Saturated Fat Story

A burger with two melted slices can deliver 10 g fat from cheese alone, with around 6 g saturated fat. People watching LDL often swap one meat patty for grilled mushroom or a bean patty, then keep a single cheese slice for taste and protein. That move trims both sat fat and total calories in the meal without losing the dairy bite that people crave.

Cholesterol And Heart Goals

That same two-slice burger can reach 30 mg cholesterol from cheese alone, based on about 15 mg per slice. Diets that aim to keep LDL down tend to cap high saturated fat foods and steer toward fiber, plants, and lean protein. That does not mean cheese is off limits. It means the cheese turns into the flavor accent, not the bulk of the meal.

Block, Slice, Or Spread: Which Fits Your Meal?

This dairy brand sells the same base dairy blend in blocks, cubes, sandwich slices, and spread jars. The core nutrition profile stays similar, but texture, melt, and sodium shift a little. The spread lines up softer, with slightly less fat per 100 g than the block, and lower sodium per 100 g than the block or slice.

Product Type (100 g)	Total Fat (g)	Sodium (mg)
Processed block / cube	26 g	1400 mg
Slice pack	25 g	1200 mg
Cheese spread	20 g	840 mg

The block and the slice both carry around 20 g protein per 100 g, while the spread sits closer to 11 g protein per 100 g since it holds more moisture. Calcium stays present across all three forms, with the block listing roughly 343 mg calcium per 100 g.

Reading that table helps you match the format to the goal. Melt appeal for a burger or paratha? A slice wins because it goes glossy in seconds. Want a creamy spread for crackers with less sodium per spoon? The jarred spread edges ahead. Packing lunch for school where there is no microwave and you want tidy fingers? Cubes travel clean and still land around 5 g protein in a small bite.

How To Fit These Slices Into A Meal Plan

Use the slice like a flavor boost, not the base of the plate. Melt one slice on a veggie omelet or stuffed paratha instead of loading three plain slices on white bread. That single slice still gives dairy taste plus a few grams of protein, while you fill more of the plate with eggs, veg, or whole grain roti.

Watch salt stack. Cheese already carries sodium from emulsifying salts and table salt. Skip extra processed meat or packaged pickle in the same sandwich when blood pressure is a worry. Swap in fresh tomato slices, cucumber ribbons, or boiled corn for crunch instead of salty chips on the side.

Think about calcium and protein goals. Adults usually aim for around 1,000 mg to 1,200 mg calcium each day to help keep bones strong and lower fracture risk later in life. One cheese slice gives a small bump, milk or yogurt can stack more, and weight-bearing moves like brisk walking or strength work help bones stay dense over time.

Last point: portion size is tiny, flavor is bold. Treat this cheese like a topping with a job. It brings salt, melt, and dairy body. You get a shot of protein, calcium, and flavor in a small square, as long as you stay aware of sodium and saturated fat in the rest of the meal.
