Sour cream and cheese both land at 110 calories, which makes them look interchangeable until you check the serving size. Chipotle sour cream calories are 110 for a 2 oz portion; cheese is 110 for 1 oz. Per ounce, sour cream is half the calorie density.
| Standard serving | Cal | Protein | Carbs | Fat | Fiber | Sodium | Sugar | Sat fat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sour Cream | 110 | 2 g | 2 g | 9 g | 0 g | 30 mg | 2 g | 7 g |
At 30 mg, sour cream carries less sodium than anything else you can add — less than lettuce-adjacent supergreens at 15 mg, and a fraction of cheese at 190 mg. On a sodium-controlled order it is the one dairy topping that costs almost nothing.
Sour cream delivers 55 calories and 4.5 g of fat per ounce. Cheese delivers 110 calories and 8 g of fat per ounce. Cheese returns 6 g of protein against sour cream's 2 g, and costs 160 mg more sodium.
| Side by side | Cal | Protein | Carbs | Fat | Fiber | Sodium | Sugar | Sat fat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sour cream | 110 | 2 g | 2 g | 9 g | 0 g | 30 mg | 2 g | 7 g |
| Cheese | 110 | 6 g | 1 g | 8 g | 0 g | 190 mg | 0 g | 5 g |
Yes, sour cream has considerably less sodium than cheese: 30 mg against 190 mg. That makes sour cream the lowest-sodium topping on the line and the one dairy option that survives a sodium-controlled order. Both land at 110 calories, though sour cream spreads them over 2 oz where cheese uses 1 oz.
Light sour cream is roughly 55 calories, since asking for light halves the portion rather than changing the product. Chipotle does not stock a reduced-fat version, so portion size is the only variable available. A half portion also halves the fat to 4.5 g and the saturated fat to 3.5 g.
