I just begin Insanity and there is a nutrition plan that comes with it...Well I tried to follow it and I happened to eat cold cottage cheese + blueberries + whole grain cereal. I can't stand the taste of cold cottage cheese (i'm usually not a picky eater...) .


I wanted to know if some of you have better recipes with cottage cheese. I can't deny it is full of proteins and low in fat! :)
Please share your secrets with me!!!!

    I've never heard of eating cottage cheese anything but cold! In fact the thought of eating it warm turns my stomach

    Yikes, I can't imagine eating it warm.

    I do do cottage cheese pancakes, which are basically cottage cheese, ground flaxseed, oatmeal, and eggs. They're kinda blah on their own but I have them with applesauce and it's nummy.

    If you prefer it warm, why not just warm it? Stir it into warm food?

    What about quark instead? It's another low-fat cheese with a similar calorie count, but the texture is very different to cottage cheese. I eat it almost daily!

    I eat cottage cheese for lunch just about everyday (during the week) all by it self. I love it. I had a friend that mixed pineapple in his. I like both but together wasnt for me. It might be good to you though. I have a fatty liver and have read studies where cottage cheese helps reverse it. Something in the whey. No one else in my family likes it, but I grew up with it. Not sure how else you could eat it. Put it in a smoothie maybe.

    Oh, if potatoes aren't a no-no for you it goes really well with potatoes instead of sour cream.

    There is a huge thread somewhere with hundreds of ideas for eating cottage cheese. I have used several of the ideas from it to increase my cottage cheese intake. Cottage cheese is also the food highest in casein protein, which is great if you're lifting.

    I like beating it into my scrambled eggs before I cook it.

    Makes your eggs cheesier and more moist. It's awesome.

    that's what i do when i don't just use it as veggie dip...
    but, i always get the nordica 2% - anything lower in fat i find has no flavour distinction from cardboard...
    was surprised at the sodium content though...
