Low-fat cottage cheese — slow-digesting casein protein.
Excellent before-bed protein. ~25g protein per cup. Salty texture is divisive but mixes well with sweet additions.
Best for
- cutting or high-protein days — 11g protein / 100g at 81 kcal
- meals where you want volume of protein without a fat bomb
Watch out
- restaurant versions that are breaded, sauced, or cooked in oil — the log is for the plain item
- weighing cooked vs raw without matching the database state
- full-fat vs low-fat SKUs — pick the line that matches the carton
How to log it
Prefer weighing cottage cheese (low-fat) after cooking if that is how you eat it, or stick to one convention. 1 cup (~226g) is the practical unit in the app.
Where it fits the day
Fits as the protein anchor. Pair with a carb and produce so the plate is not only lean protein and boredom.
