I have no idea but I suspect you could do a test yourself!
Weigh it before and after and calculate the difference in fat!

ummm fried cheese, im not really familiar with this, but are you talking about deep frying the cheese? or frying it in oil? cause if thats the case, if you fry somthing in oil until crispy. that would be adding calories to the cheese.....
same concept as frying, say, fish, its more fattening and calorie laden after being fried... er, sorry, i feel like im repeating myself A LOT. am i making any sense?

| i just shred up cheese and put it in a pan no grease butter or nothing and fry it till it gets crunchy i remove all the grease from the cheese as i fry it,that is how it gets crunchy. Cheese has somuch fat that i dont need to add grease ,and it doesnt stick

Hi Cheryl -
I'm betting the difference is so marginal that the only safe thing to do would be to allow for the full caloric value of the cheese in your calcs. What difference would 5 or 10 calories make?

Just as a by the bye - are you sure you don't change the nature of the fat in the cheese by treating it that way? 'Twould be a shame to go to all that trouble trying to make the cheese healthier, only to find you'd migrated some fats to trans-fats - and made it worse! Just a thought...

I remembered this topic when I ran into some frying cheese at Trader Joe's!
It's on the Dairy list:
Cheese, Frying Cheese, Garlic Toast Flavor [Just the Cheese]
