Calories, Fat and Cholesterol

TooJay's Chocolate Cheese Delight has approximately 440 calories per slice. About 210 of these calories come directly from fat. The total amount of fat in a serving of the cake is 24 g. This is about 37 percent of the daily value, based on a 2,000-calorie diet. The amount of saturated fat is 10 g, which is a whopping 50 percent of the DV.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends limiting your intake of total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol to reduce your chances of obesity, heart problems and other health issues. Because of this, it is wise to consume this cake only as an occasional indulgence while otherwise maintaining a healthy and low-fat diet.

Sodium

Although the biggest nutritional drawback of consuming the Chocolate Cheese Delight is the number of calories, fat and cholesterol, the amount of sodium is also something that should be considered.

The American Heart Association, however, suggests that most adults should consume significantly less than the amount recommended by the Food and Drug Administration, only about 1,500 mg to be exact. Since one serving of this cake is almost a third of the American Heart Association's sodium recommendation, you should reconsider eating this product if you are concerned about your daily sodium intake.

The FDA does not require nutrition labels to list the daily value percentages for protein unless a product claims to be high in protein, which this product does not. However, the FDA recommends most adults get about 50 g of protein a day, so the amount in this cake would be roughly 12 percent of the daily value.
