The honest verdict

Is Cheez-It Original Actually Healthy?

Cheez-Its deliver 150 calories and 8g of fat per 27 crackers, with real cheese buried in a refined-flour square. Like most cheese crackers, the serving size is a polite fiction; the sleeve is the real unit. If you want the sharp-cheese crunch, you can get it from crackers that are mostly cheese instead of mostly flour.
