    It pisses me off that you need guidance to cottage cheese. I need guidance to...so many things. So many things that require a therapist and money.

    Just eat the *kitten* cottage cheese.

    Also, MFP, I'm drunk. Please forgive me.

    step away from MFP.... :laugh:

    It probably depends on if it's full fat or fat free, though the flavor of fat free might be enough to kill ya.

    Considering a full container of Mayfield's cottage cheese has 720 calories, 30g fat, 3200mg sodium, 30g carbs and 78g protein.

    Yeah, even then, 30g of fat is perfectly within reason for damn near anyone.

    The only people who might need to be wary on the cottage cheese intake are those with a sodium sensitivity and/or hypertension, as all cottage cheese (and most cheeses in general) tend to contain a pretty large amount of sodium, and those with dairy allergies. The latter should be pretty damned obvious, but I figured I'd add it anyway.

    It's only harmful eating a lot of it if your kidneys are already close to end stage, since at that point your body can't effectively get rid of excess potassium and phosphates (which all milk products have a ton of). If your kidneys are working fine now though, then there's no danger.

    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.... :/

    Guess I've been using the "woo" button wrong - I've been clicking it for silly posts or posts that make me go "woo!", not things that I think are "woo-woo", if you catch my drift...

    Serious answer: as long as sodium isn't a concern, eat as much as fits in your calorie goals without excluding other nutritious foods like vegetables.

    Cottage cheese is delicious.

    With no snacks (cookies, chips, etc.) in the house, last night I mindlessly ate almost the whole 16 oz container of cottage cheese. :o I was only going to have a spoonful. Fortunately, I'm still within my calorie goal. However, up .2 lbs this morning from the sodium. Yes - I was over my sodium goal.

    I don't know if sodium can make difference in weight but what I found is just 100 gram cottage cheese added to my daily diet got me 4.5 kg of muscles in a week time. As I take fats percentage and muscles percentage weekly.lost around 3.5 kg of fats. Waist is one inch down

    I wonder if it really works like that or it was with me only?

    Sodium can cause water retention so yes, it can make a difference in weight. As for the rest of your post, NO!! You can simply NOT build 4.5kgs of muscle in a week any which way, never mind because you ate 100g of cottage cheese a day. That has to be the bizarrest claim I think I have heard on MFP!! How did you measure that, just out of curiosity?

    It's very difficult to believe the bolded part. First, it's difficult to accurately measure your body muscle content. If you were using an electrical impedance measuring device, you could get this range of readings within the same day simply due to your varying levels of hydration that day. Such a device is no more accurate or reliable if used each day or each week. Don't draw conclusions about food intake based on an electrical impedance body fat measuring device. If your body was adding muscle, you can detect it by lifting heavier objects. Even so, lifting a heavier object one day than you could lift a week earlier give you no numerically precise number to describe your bodily muscle mass change.

    You couldn't have gained 4.5 lbs of muscle even on steroids!! In optimum conditions a man can gain about 2 lbs per month. It's water weight.

    Those body composition weighing machines are not in any way accurate.

    May be it is not possible but what I think is the mixture of juices I am drinking thrice daily may be helping me gaining muscles

    I am drinking a mixture of juice of garlic ginger lemon apple cider vinegar

    It seems this mixture is not only helping on losing body fats but also gaining muscles

    I have body composition weighing machine.it tells body fats percentage muscles percentage water percentage etc

    I have been using this machine since March.

    I am going to correct myself, THIS is the bizarrest claim I have ever seen on MFP! Protein helps to build muscles not a concoction of garlic, ginger, lemon, apple and cider vinegar, I don't care how many times a day you drink it! Bet it tastes foul too!
