    Thank you for all your help! How do you all eat your cottage cheese? I'll do a bit of googling. I've never even tried it!

    Usually plain, but sometimes mixed with a bit of fruit. Or add seasoning, like pepper.

    I like Greek yogurt mixed with cottage cheese and black pepper and chopped bell peppers.
    Also Greek yogurt with honey oatmeal and granola mixed in.
    You can add a few tbs of skim milk powder to everything you make: cookies, mashed potatoes, lasagna, soups, you get the idea.

    Chicken breasts, tuna, and cottage cheese are awesome!

    I don't eat meat so I make seitan every week and eat scrambled tofu. I even rely on green veggies like kale and broccoli to boost protein.

    Oh, cottage cheese in baked potato!
    Quinoa salad with lentils and veggies.

    I regularily hit around 300 g protein a day in the first 1800 calories of my meals. Primarily chicken breast and a protein shake. It can be done. Meat, cottage cheese, greek yogurt...
