These score close together, 62 of 100 for fat-free parmesan cheese topping and 59 of 100 for fat-free sour cream. The parmesan topping is far higher in protein per 100 g (40 g vs 3.1 g) but also far higher in calories (370 vs 74) and sodium, 1150 mg against just 141 mg, over eight times as much.

Choose the parmesan topping when protein density is what you need from a small serving. Choose fat-free sour cream when calories and sodium are the priority, since both are dramatically lower. The close scores mask a large gap in sodium and calories, so think about typical serving size before comparing these directly.
