So after observing my diary for a good while, I feel that Cottage Cheese is one of the best choices for my nutritional goals. I mean, it's cheap, delicious, low in cals, has a great amount of protein, healthy fats and super good post workout and before bed!

Giving that I stay under my recommanded daily sodium intake and calories, is there a reason not to consume 300 grams of cottage cheese a day? I never season any of my other meals w/salt btw so, my diet is quite low in sodium and I drink LOTS of water.

    Keep eating the cottage cheese. The sodium is o.k. unless you have a medical issue.

    I don't see an issue, unless you have a hithero undiscovered lactose intolerance! The sodium isn't too bad, particularly if you aren't adding it in other places.

    probably..at least i hope so..i get a container and it lasts me 2 meals..thats 1.5 cups each, and according to a label online, each serving is 113 g ( so 339g per 1.5 cup), and for me so far so good..i think you will be ok:smile:

    I love cottage cheese. With sweet stuff, savory stuff, or just straight out of the container.

    I cannot eat the stuff -- even the one that says "lactose free."

    I was gonna mention the sodium thing but you were on that one. :)

    You would definitely be getting your protein in. 225 grams has 25 grams of protein.

    Have you tried making your own?
    My daughter made cottage cheese a school today.
    Absolutely delicious and so easy to make.

    I eat about 200g of cottage cheese daily! It doesn't last long in my house and shame on whoever leaves a few curds left in the container! Teasing me!

    A go to snack is cottage cheese and some tortilla chips - using the CC as a dip. It shouldn't work, but definitely does! Try and let me know if you guys like it!
