Anyone eat cottage cheese ?

[ball22]

I never tried it but seems to have a very high protien content.
Any thoughts ?

cottage cheese is an EXCELLENT source of casein protein(slow absorbing). Perfect choice before bed! Its also contains a good deal of calcium, but keep in mind that if you are taking ZMA supplement before bed, cottage cheese would not be a good choice as a pre-bed meal, as the calcium hinders the effects of the zinc and magnesium.

I buy the low sodium organic type..just me.. the low fat regular type is fine, im just not as fancy to the taste.

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY
Which brand has the low sodium ?
Can that be a water retention problem ?
Thanks,

Its good for all these reasons plus it tastes great, believe me... It may not look edible at first but fater you try it you will down it by the spoonful.

i don't get along too well with dairy products, but i do get in my cottage cheese every night before i go to sleep. mix in some almond butter, cinnamon and a little splenda and it almost feels like i'm cheating.

I should eat it a lot more than I do. It's great protein.

that sounds good. I don't really like cottage cheese, so I don't eat it much but I'd like to try the chive and toasted onion!

Its not go post workout because the protein in it is slowly absorbed... post workout you want a quick absorbing protein to get to your muscles w/in a certain time frame.

Its good before bed because the slow absorbing protein lasts for a few hours, so your at least getting nutrients for a couple hours while you sleep, rather than for none at all.
