Strong flavor is an advantage: a small crumble goes further than mild cheese. On the energy-density scale, 353 kcal per 100 g puts blue cheese at the high end. Protein density is strong: about 6.1 g of protein per 100 calories.
A typical serving (1 cubic inch, 17 g) has about 60 calories, and 100 g has 353 kcal. Calories scale with weight, so double the portion means double the number.
There are 21.4 g of protein in 100 g of blue cheese, which works out to about 3.6 g per serving (1 cubic inch). It contributes meaningful protein, though most of the calories come from elsewhere.
Yes, in the plain arithmetic sense: 28.7 g of fat per 100 g supplies about 73% of the calories. Whether that fits your day depends on your totals, not on the food alone.
