Calculation of caloric content of a product per 100 grams
The calculation of the calorie content of 100 grams of product is based on previously known indicators of BZHU (abbreviation: proteins-fats-carbohydrates). The calculation method is the summation of these data (obtained by laboratory analysis and calculations) previously multiplied by a value equal to the energy released (calories) during their splitting. So, for example, 1 gram of protein or carbohydrate can release energy equal to 4.1 kcal, and fat a little more than 9. In calorie calculations, these numbers are usually rounded to whole numbers, as is the result itself.
Our example involves proteins - 25 grams and fats - 26 grams, contained in 100 grams of product. Next we perform the calculation:
Energy value of 100 grams = 25 (proteins)*4 + 26 (fat)*9 = 100 + 234 = 334 kcal
Our calculated calorie content is more than 250 kcal, which means that cream cheese is a high-calorie product with a high protein, fat and low carbohydrate content.

conclusions
Cream cheese is a soft curd cheese with a pleasant creamy taste and creamy consistency. There are many types of cream cheese. Many countries have their own national cream cheeses, for example, Italian mascarpone, mozzarella, ricotta, Greek feta, and American Philadelphia.
Cheeses contain a lot of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, organic acids, vitamins and mineral salts. The rich chemical composition of cream cheeses determines their beneficial properties. Eating these foods improves the functioning of the digestive system, brain, kidneys, and heart. They normalize metabolism, remove toxic substances, and increase immunity.
However, due to the high content of proteins and fats, cream cheeses are not recommended for consumption by people suffering from food allergies, casein or lactose intolerance, gout, urolithiasis, and obesity. Salty types of cream cheese are contraindicated if you are prone to edema or kidney disease.
These products are very popular in cooking. They are consumed as an independent dish, added to salads, sauces, creams for cakes, desserts, and baked goods.

Chemical composition
Cream cheese is a nutritious, healthy and high-calorie product, because its special creamy consistency is provided by the fats it contains in large quantities. The bulk of milk fat consists of saturated fatty acids, cholesterol, phospholipids, and triglycerides. In addition, these fats also contain concentrated (compared to milk fats) unsaturated acids, including omega-3 and omega-6.
In addition to fats, cream cheeses contain:
- milk proteins (casein, lactoalbumin, globulins);
- carbohydrates, including lactose - milk sugar;
- organic acids, in particular lactic acid;
- macro- and microelements;
- vitamins.
The energy value of cream cheese ranges from 170 to 390 kcal, which depends on the type of cheese and its fat content. The exception is low-fat varieties of cheese, for example, low-fat Philadelphia cheese, which has a calorie content of only 80 kcal.
The protein composition of these cheeses depends on the type of milk used for their preparation. So, if the cheese is made from cow's or goat's milk, it will contain a lot of casein. If buffalo milk or whey is used to make cheese, the product will contain a lot of albumin and globulins.
Cream cheese proteins are more complete in their amino acid composition than fish and meat proteins. The essential amino acids methionine, glycine, lysine, and tryptophan, which these curd products are rich in, are of great importance for the human body.
The main carbohydrate in cream cheese is milk sugar - lactose, which is a substrate for the formation of lactic acid, which is beneficial for intestinal flora. This carbohydrate, made up of glucose and sucrose, provides energy but does not raise blood glucose levels as sharply as sugar.
Lactic acid, which is formed as a result of the breakdown of lactose, inhibits the growth of pathogenic microflora in the human intestine. In addition, the acidic environment created by lactic acid promotes the absorption of vitamin C, calcium and phosphorus.
Cream cheeses are a source of many minerals: sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, which are presented in these products in a bioavailable form, that is, they are well absorbed in the intestines. These products also contain many vitamins: both fat-soluble (A, D, E and K) and water-soluble vitamins C, PP, group B.
