:noway: I read that eating fruit with a cup of cottage cheese is good for you! How is cottage cheese good for you?

    Why wouldn't it be? It is low in fat if you buy that type, high in protein (casein specifically, which is a slow-digesting type of protein), and any sugars in it are lactose and galactose, which don't cause a large spike in insulin.

    Yeah...I eat it just about every day! I always buy the fat free cottage cheese and sprinkle a little pepper on it. But I really like it with 2 sesame crackers on the side. With a stick of celery, it makes a perfect lunch.

    I can not eat cottage cheese. :sick: It makes me want to erp, :sick: But for some reason I like plain yogurt. Nothing added, low in cals, I think it tastes GOOD!
    The reason that they say this in the the cultures in Cottage cheese have active cultures that aid in digestion. It is also a food that is full of protien and calcium.

    Not a cottage cheese fan! My mom used to eat it all the time when I was a kid and she never lost a pound. Just find a good for you alternative that you DO like. Fat free/sugar free yoghurt maybe? Forcing yourself to eat something you don't like is not going to work. :flowerforyou:

    I LOVE cottage cheese. I use it in lasagna in place of the ricotta cheese. It is great on top of a salad too.

    Cottage cheese is very high in protein and if you buy the lite or fat free variety it's also low in fat.

    I eat it almost every morning with some blueberries, splenda and flax seed. I love it!

    My boyfriend likes to mix a serving of yogurt with cottage cheese at night. He's very into the whole body building thing and says something about that mixture creating some kind of slow burning protein/carb thingy (yeah, I know, I listen really well) :happy:
