No one’s asked, is it really a healthy option? Otherwise why eat it???
Its super high in protein without a ton of calories. Fat content is also relatively low. 50g of protein is like 400 calories which is pretty damn good. Some are higher in salt, but i have such a low salt intake that it isn't something I'd be worried about when eating it.
Was never a huge fan but could eat cottage cheese. Mother In Law turned me onto "Good Culture" cottage cheese and I eat it all the time as a snack now, just plain. It's really good, creamier than most others I've had.
When it's fresh, it's great. When it's been sitting for a while it loses that flavor and gets at best, gross at worst.
I really like it. (Childhood treat: Cold tuna right from the can, cottage cheese and sour cream.) Yes, it mixes well with other stuff like salsa, fruit.
Bummer: I can't eat it anymore. Recently discovered I'm lactose intolerant. ("discovered" in the sense of "figured out why I've been sick a lot of the time for more than two years.")
RE: Yay to plain cottage cheese but I need to sprinkle it with salt and Â
I have tried to like it but it's always been a no go for me.
Same. Except I won't try it. Greek Yogurt was a big enough step for me and I'll just stick to it. However now that I'm on this lifestyle change thing in terms of eating, maybe I should look into obtaining a pallete for cottage cheese. Maybe if I buy it, I could keep it in the fridge and nobody will eat it.

Thanks for saving me a quick search. So basically its just as protein rich as Greek yogurt? You get about 12-14 G protein per 110-120 calories so very similar , I suppose you consume maybe slightly less sugar but Greek yogurt looks less disgusting (still looks gross tho) tastes decent though

This. Love it with salt and pepper - to bland to eat plain.
Fruit? No.
