I love it but why eat something you don't want? What are you replacing? Because like any cheese it has a lot of sodium.
...why eat stuff you hate? this is a lifestyle change..not a diet to just eat restricted foods while losing then go back to old habits when you reach goal!!
:flowerforyou: o.p.
Hey guys, I don't know if I hate it or not --- I haven't tried it before! I have seen lots of people say they like it or at least they seem to eat it a lot, and others hate it. So before I tried it, I just wanted to hear the reasoning behind how people liked it and how they consumed it! :-)0 -
Cottage cheese is delicious! I particularly like it with pineapple in the morning. I also like it with Italian dishes.0
-
Pears and cottage cheese is my favorite! And mixing cottage cheese with yogurt, as another poster mentioned, is not only a healthy, filling snack, but a pretty tasty combination. Also, I love Ritz crackers with cottage cheese and salad supreme sprinkled on top. Mmm...0

I just bought myself some cottage cheese today, however I am very wary and not particularly looking forward to trying it as I have heard from many that it doesn't taste very nice... Can anyone help me in telling me how they eat their Cottage Cheese - in a tasty way and low calorie (of course!).
Pictures are also most welcome!
Thanks in advance! xxx
Give it a try and if you don't like it don't eat it. I personally LOVE cottage cheese. I prefer Old Home brand. I used to buy the full fat version. It took some getting used to but I enjoy the Fat Free just was much now.0 -
First off, the more milk fat it has the tastier it is, right? But to me, anything under 4% milkfat is inedible. I like cottage cheese with salsa and avocados, or with peaches in the morning. I eat it with pickles and seasoning for a quick snack, and as a side dish I dip my chips into it0

Don't give up on cottage cheese if you've only tried one brand. There are some brands that I can't stomach and I like cottage cheese. The brand I've found that I like the best is Organic Valley followed by Kroger brand. If I'd only tried Breakstone or Daisy I wouldn't like cottage cheese either! I've never tried it with fruit. I usually just eat it by itself. Sometimes I'll blend it as a sour cream substitute if I don't have any greek yogurt.0

it's a good, filling breakfast and stays with me nicely until lunchtime.0 -

I totally agree. I only eat Kroger brand. Those 2 "name" brands were yucky! I don't know...too mushy or something and an unpleasant taste. Maybe they'd be OK in lasagna, but not plain. I like cottage cheese best with canned pears, though pineapple and peaches are good too, as others have mentioned.0 -
I happen to love it. I buy the friendship no salt added 1%. Be careful, some braands have a ton of sodium. I usually have it for a snack and add a half cup of blueberries.0
-
Some things I add are:
cottage cheese and hamburger (great for low carb diets)
cottage cheese and tuna (same thing, also super quick)
cottage cheese and jam
cottage cheese and fruit (especially cantaloup)
I really haven't strayed too far from those but they are quick, easy, and tasty0 -
I love it with garden fresh Tomatoes and just a touch of pepper yum!!0
-
Pb2, FF cottage cheese and splenda with ground flax seed, and splenda it sounds wierd but it's an awsome breakfast!0
-
I've only tried it once. I don't mind the taste, but I can't get past the texture. I bought a container of it on sale, so I'm hoping to hide it in recipes.0
-
Cottage cheese is delicious with fruit mixed in it. I also use it as a base for some protein shakes, and as a base for low fat/cal creamy homemade mac & cheese. It's also good with a little pepper and pickles.0
-
I love cottage cheese. I love pairing it with fresh fruit (apples, pears, etc). I also love it plain with just a sprinkle of pepper on it.0
-
I mix fruit in mine.0
-
I like my cottage cheese with pepper and dry roasted sunflower seeds. So yummy on salad.0
-
I like it, but I use a 1/4 cup on some of my salads, because I love to pour on the RANCH... so if I use cottage cheese and only the 2 tbls of ranch, I save myself on cals but not texture or flavor. And for a snack.. 1/4 and sliced cucumbers or tomatoes is YUMMY0
-
a few ways i do is add a tables spoon of strawberry jam, or a teaspoon of brown sugar.0
-
Canned sugar-free peaches!!! I always add them to my cottage cheese :-D0
