About 71 calories in 1 oz, or about 71 in 1 slice.
Mozzarella is a useful contributor rather than your main protein: 1 oz adds about 6.7 g, with around 38% of the calories coming from protein. It is a complete protein, so it carries every essential amino acid your muscles need to rebuild. Build the meal around a denser source and let mozzarella top it up.
Not quite. Only about 38% of the calories in mozzarella come from protein, short of the roughly 40% bar that counts as a high-protein food, so treat mozzarella as a contributor rather than a main protein source.
