    I'm thinking of chopping up some Snickers to stir into cottage cheese. :wink:

    Today the components of my breakfast I think, would do a hipster proud. 100% natural probiotic yogurt, chia, pumpkin, walnuts, blueberries, and puffed millet. Pumpernickel and "no sugar, no salt added" peanut butter. It was delish. (Of course, there's a hipster born every minute that could "improve" on this. I am obviously unconcerned about the intimate daily molestation of dairy cows, and hydrogenation...please? Just because I don't like lumpy peanut butter?)

    For morning snack, an all-white Betty Crocker cupcake with low-fat dream whip.

    But in context of the overall diet.....

    That is VERY hipster.

    I like pumpkin with cottage cheese and pumpkin pie spice and extra cinnamon. It tastes like pumpkin cheesecake to me. I have it for breakfast a lot.

    Thanks for the cottage cheese idea, I've been trying to eat more of it because I usually fall woefully short on protein. Oh, and if I followed the gist of this thread I like Snickers bars and fruit, in my opinion only liver is the debbil!

    Liver traumatized me.

    When I was in high school, when we got to the part in our science lab where we were studying acids, for some reason lost to the fog of 37 years, my teacher had a few students up in front demonstrating the reaction of a few different solids and acid. I don't remember which acid it was. I remember none of the other solids.

    I just remember the liver.

    How it sort of ... dripped... down.... from the tongs that were going to place it into the test tube.

    And the horrible color that no thing should ever be of the foam/scum that came up as the reaction started.

    And the smell. Oh Bob, the smell.

    I remember that smell quite clearly. 37 years later. Hideous.

    That Snickers bar will suck all the nutrition out of the cottage cheese.

    Sorry.

    If we ask really nicely, would you share the proportions of your pumpkin cottage cheese goodness? =)

    I eat 169g of cottage cheese and 91g of pumpkin, so whatever that works out to be. I sort of eyeball the spices, but I do log them. I probably overlog the amount. I also add liquid Splenda. You can sweeten it or not as you'd like.

    I should add that I've had this with both fat free and 4% cottage cheese. It is sooooooo much better with full fat cottage cheese. It's also more filling, even though I eat less of the full fat cottage cheese than I did of the fat free.

    Thank you!

    How can I fit a snickers bar in my day since I've already had fish and chips today?

    I love love LOVE cottage cheese, but being lactose intolerant can only have the lactose free, which is 1% milk fat. I've never tried it with pumpkin, though...and it sounds delicious!

    Well, I learned something today. I had no idea that the 1% cottage cheese was lactose free.

    @SLLRunner, did you know they make lactase enzymes that you take with your first bite of cheese/milk/yogurt/whatever you're eating that has lactose in it and you don't get the normal "I ate something my body can't handle issues"? One of my boys is lactose intolerant, and he LOVES pizza, cheese, milk... all the things he can't have. It was hella tough at first, until we found the lactase enzymes. You can find them at your local drug store (or walmart... or a grocery store...) but I'm in the US. Not sure where you are or if they are widely available for you.
