Cheese sauces are rich, creamy, and flavorful—but they can also be high in calories. The caloric content of cheese sauces varies depending on the ingredients used. A typical serving (about 1/4 cup or 60g) of cheddar cheese sauce contains approximately 80–120 calories. Most of the caloric content of cheese sauces comes from fats, especially saturated fat. Lighter versions with low-fat ingredients can significantly reduce the calorie load.
