Understanding Sour Cream Nutrition

Sour Cream is a dairy food valued for its calcium, protein and fat content. At 197 kcal per 100 g serving, it provides 2.3g of protein, 4.7g of carbohydrate and 19.3g of fat. Sour Cream is particularly rich in saturated fat, delivering 10.0g — 50% of the daily value — in a single serving. It has modest fiber and 3.3g sugar.

For athletes and anyone tracking macros, sour cream is calorie-dense and works well for adding calories without added volume, thanks to its fat content. With only 2.3g of protein per 197 kcal, though, it contributes little toward a protein target — it's best treated as a flavor and calorie addition rather than a protein source.
