cottage cheese : your opinion ?!

[mike1107]

do you think cottage cheese is a good clean source of proteins ?

Re: cottage cheese : your opinion ?!

By no means am I an expert, but the principle protein type in cottage cheese is casein. Casein has a low glycemic and insulin score. The body will absorb it slower than say whey protein. Its good protein, just not good for post recovery. I usually eat it before bed

i too eat a cup before bed, just got tired of the same taste so i started adding a little vinilla x, and some splenda!

Re: cottage cheese : your opinion ?!

exactly, before bed is best. but i like to take in 2-3 diff protein sources per meal. so i often eat 1/2 cup with a meal

Don't necessarily love the stuff plain but it blends well into an evening shake before bed. Always have two tubs of the stuff sitting in the fridge for this purpose. Additionally, it's good when placed into a salad.

I don't like it any way. Food or on butts and legs.

You know what's REALLY good with cottage cheese (and this is going to SOUND really gross! hehe - but I swear it's good!), is sweet potato!

I mix 1/2c lf or ff cottage cheese, with 1/4c-1/2c baked mashed sweet potato (heated up separately, then mixed up with the CC), splenda, pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon. Tastes like PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE.

Very good protein source.

Try this one out.

1cup cottage cheese
1 cup of FROZEN rasberries
4 splenda pack
1 cap almonld extract (or vanilla)

Throw everything in blender/chopper to high until smooth (but still kinda frozen) texture.
