Cheese Fries Nutrition

Cheese fries are a popular dish, especially in diners and fast-food restaurants, consisting of French fries covered in melted cheese or cheese sauce. While undeniably delicious, they are typically high in calories, fat, and sodium, making them an indulgent treat rather than a daily staple. The nutritional profile can vary significantly based on the type of fries, the oil used for frying, the kind of cheese, and the portion size. Often served as a snack or a side, they can sometimes be a full meal on their own, especially when loaded with extra toppings like bacon or chili.

Calories in Cheese Fries

A medium serving of cheese fries, approximately 283 grams, contains around 780 calories. The majority of these calories come from the fat used to fry the potatoes and the fat content of the cheese. The carbohydrates from the potatoes also contribute significantly. If you're using a calorie counter to manage your intake, it's important to account for this high number. For those working towards a calorie deficit for weight loss, cheese fries should be consumed in moderation and with careful consideration of the portion size.

Nutritional Breakdown

Beyond just calories, the nutritional breakdown tells a more detailed story. A single serving is very high in total and saturated fat, often meeting or exceeding the daily recommended limit. It is also a significant source of sodium, largely from the salted fries and processed cheese sauce. On the positive side, cheese fries provide a substantial amount of protein from the cheese and some dietary fiber from the potatoes. They also offer key minerals like calcium and potassium. Understanding these values helps in making informed dietary choices.
