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.
