Cottage Cheese One of the Most Bang for Your Calorie Cheeses

When it comes to cheeses, cottage cheese gives you the most bang for your calorie.

I got this Low Fat Cottage Cheese at WalMart for $2.54.

A 24 oz. container costs that is 6 servings for 1/2 cup or 4oz.


It's low in calories and fat.

Cottage cheese is yummy and satisfying.

It's high in protein.

Fifteen grams of protein, much form of casein, a slow digesting form of protein.
The high protein content of cottage cheese and its high casein content make it a satiety food to reduces hunger for longer periods of time. It is one of the best non-meat sources of protein around.

It's low in carbohydrates.

Most cottage cheese is low in carbohydrates ranging from 3 grams to 6 grams. The low fat versions are often higher in carbs because they have added starches.

It's high in calcium
It has around seventy grams per serving. Cottage cheese is an awesome way to help meet your the daily calcium requirements. Calcium is important not only for building strong bones, but also for maintaining normal blood pressure.

Stop, Taste and Enjoy,
Coach TIA
