Protein = 18g
Carbohydrates = 1g
Carbohydrates = 2g
Fat = 16g

Note: the chart below maxes out at 20, so you can see better.
Next, let's take a look at the Vitamin density. These values are shown in units of percent of recommended daily intake. And since we're showing 200 calories worth, this means anything above 10% is good.
Choline = 2%
Choline = 0%
Vitamin A = 21%
Vitamin A = 9%
Vitamin C = 0%
Vitamin C = 0%
Vitamin E = 1%
Vitamin E = 0%
Vitamin K = 2%
Vitamin K = 0%
Choline 2% 0% Vitamin A 21% 9% Vitamin C 0% 0% Vitamin E 1% 0% Vitamin K 2% 0%
Cheddar have significantly more Vitamins A than parmesan. Cheddar are a good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin B12. Cheddar are a great source of Calcium, Phosphorus. Parmesan are a good source of Vitamin B12. Parmesan are a great source of Phosphorus. Parmesan are an excellent source of Calcium.
And here we see the B-vitamins: B1 (Thiamin), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine)
Vitamin B1 = 1%
Vitamin B1 = 2%
Vitamin B2 = 17%
Vitamin B2 = 15%
Vitamin B3 = 0%
Vitamin B3 = 1%
Vitamin B5 = 4%
Vitamin B5 = 5%
Vitamin B6 = 3%
Vitamin B6 = 5%
Vitamin B12 = 21%
Vitamin B12 = 34%
Vitamin B1 1% 2% Vitamin B2 17% 15% Vitamin B3 0% 1% Vitamin B5 4% 5% Vitamin B6 3% 5% Vitamin B12 21% 34%
Now, lets look at mineral density. Here we have a lot of important electrolytes and minerals. Once again, units are in percent of RDI, thus for this 200 calorie serving anything above 10% would considered high.
