FAQ

String Cheese, answered

String Cheese has about 6.7 g of protein in 1 stick, and about 13.4 g in 2 sticks.

About 81 calories in 1 stick, or about 162 in 2 sticks.

String Cheese is a useful contributor rather than your main protein: 1 stick adds about 6.7 g, with around 33% 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 string cheese top it up.

Not quite. Only about 33% of the calories in string cheese come from protein, short of the roughly 40% bar that counts as a high-protein food, so treat string cheese as a contributor rather than a main protein source.
