    You can eat as much as you like of it as long as you are not sacrificing other micros/macros.

    Make sure you hit your fat goal, eat a wide range of coloured vegetables/fruits. Add in other protein sources for variety. Chicken tuna, eggs etc.

    Thanks I really appreciate your help

    Be careful if you have a medical need to watch your sodium. Cottage cheese is very high in it.

    I don't know why anyone would "woo" that . . . there is DHMO in it. People need to read this site:

    http://dhmo.org

    OP, don't worry about the DHMO in cottage cheese. You'd have to eat gallons and gallons of cottage cheese for it to be a problem, and smaller doses of DHMO don't accumulate unhealthfully in the body over time.

    Also, this (passage quoted above) was a joke. He just forgot the ;););) .

    This one (passage quoted just above) is true and correct. Many other people's replies are meant to be playful, not so much helpful. Enjoy your cottage cheese! :)

    I'd guess the bolded above is why it got wooed. Not that there isn't any but that the poster was recommending not eating it. If it was humor, that wasn't clear. On the other hand, I have seen some blatantly factual things wooed so who knows why people do these things.... :/

    Your biggest danger is boredom. Eat as much as you enjoy and fits in to your calorie goal for the day.

    The second danger is pushing out other important foods like vegetables. An all protein diet is tough on the old colon.

    The final danger is simply eating to bursting. I am sure you don't intend that.

    Keep in mind all the other lovely protein-laden foods like eggs, fish, chicken, beef, and tofu.

    How much are you thinking of eating? In the amounts I can imagine people eating regularly (and I love the stuff), no issues, but you can have too much of anything.

    Zach got wooed, not me. Yes, Zach did not say that DHMO poisoning is dose-dependent, which is why I added that part, and Zach apparently suggested avoiding cottage cheese entirely, which is Just Wrong unless you dislike it or are lactose intolerant. Yes, DHMO is H2O is water. Yes, consume too much water in too short a time period, and it will kill you (by screwing up your electrolyte balance, not by making you burst, or something like that, though there probably exists some quantity that would so that, too). Hyponatremia is a thing.

    And I did put in the ;););) .

    Yup, I understood it was Zach that got wooed. I apologize I wasn`the more clear. I meant he might have got wooed because it isn't really a problem. Apparently Zach`s humor is too subtle for my limited comprehension. :D

    The limit for me is only the amount of cottage cheese in my house.

    Dunno. Is there a maximum dosage listed on the package? You wouldn't want to OD....

    Can I ask what's potentially unsafe about cottage cheese?

    I just figured that people would know that DHM is water.

    Aww, that's sweet ;)
