Using this food reference
This reference is whole-milk mozzarella. Part-skim and low-moisture mozzarella records describe different products and should not be substituted without checking the identity.
The ounce comparison is a weight measure. If mozzarella is one component of a pizza or sandwich, log the cheese amount separately rather than using these figures for the entire prepared food.
Match the food before using the numbers
The selected USDA description is Cheese, mozzarella, whole milk. Preparation, water loss, added oil, salt, edible skin, product formulation, and measured portion can change the nutrition of the food you actually eat.
