Cottage Cheese

[moush]

what to put on cottage cheese? anything to make it different, taste better, anything?

[Hollywood080]

I used to have to eat two bowls of cottage cheese with every meal to try to help me put on weight when I went to military school. It's not that healthy but just adding some sugar to it worked for me!

[PEWN]

all i can say is alot of water... i take a bite and wash it down... every night before bed...

[Renesis]

Flavored yogurt... although as to how yogurt will fit into your diet thats for you to figure out. Personally I don't care about that extra sugar in yogurt.

[moush]

nah i dont want yogurt...i can def eat the cottage cheese straight up but i dunno looking for something to "spice it up a notch" ya know? splenda or anything?

[Hollywood080]

this may sound weird but cheetos too! Take into consideration that I'm not giving healthy advice just advice

[Hollywood080]

the cheetos add a different texture to it. breaks up the mushy lumpy monotany!

[moush]

nah man no cheetos...cmon give me legit info or dont post...i didnt mention anything about cheating therefore i have no interest in cheetos with cottage cheese

[PEWN]

i dont know if i would add splenda..... even though water makes the enzymes digest differently its the only way i found to get cottage cheese down the hatch with less additives that would screw up the point of just eating it ....

[moush]

alright ill just stick to eating it like it is...thanks pewn

[PEWN]

ill keep this bumped for more opinions... im curious also...

[sliceNdice]

If you eat the fat free kind and don't mind going with a 1 or 2% milkfat I've found that the latter tends to taste better to me. I love the small curd, 2% milkfat.

[sliceNdice]

You could try sugar free jelly. Wouldn't do anything for texture but it would definatly change the taste.

[PEWN]

depends on your use for the cottage cheese. I use it before bed for a slow digesting protein so no fat wanted at all....

[sliceNdice]

I use it before bed as well. 1.5 cups with some peanut butter and celery. Doesn't fat slow your metabolism and thus absorption? Correct me if I'm wrong. . .

[Amorphic]

nothing has worked for me, the texture of cottage cheese makes me want to throw up.

I'm not sure about it slowing your metabolism in general, but it does take longer to digest than a meal without fats.

[Renesis]

Yeah I was going to ask the same question, wouldn't you want fat with it to slow digestion?

[Facecrash]

put pineapple or blackberries in CC it rules! Or Fat Free cool whip

[Renesis]

OH YEAH!!! I forgot I used to put pineapples in my CC. shoot -.-

[moush]

mm cool whip...interesting? i know nuts, and dried fruits taste good in em but i cant use those in my diet right now.

[sonnygll]

I know of people using fresh fruit. Sounds nasty to me though.

Sometimes I put salsa in mine. It's actually pretty good.

And yes, fats do slow digestion and not metabolism. Fats also lower the glycemic load of a total meal. Hence the no fats PWO rule. Fat and casein are good for bedtime for sure. mmmm cheese and a casein shake.....

[moush]

yea bro...i definitely will try the salsa...mmm mango salsa from costco!!

[Diamonite]

****in' rights costco!


sorry back to cottage cheese..

[1morerep]

every night before bed i have my fat free cottage cheese mixed with trail mix -unsalted or flavoured. just straight trail mix (nothing is better)

[Coop77]

Try putting chives in it. My grocery store sells a brand that has chives already in it. Doesn't add any sugar and a lot better than plain.

[moush]

really? ill check that out coop

[Primalinstinct]

peaches, nectarines, mandarian oranges, pineapple or strawberries.

[moush]

could you use cottage cheese pre-workout?

[sonnygll]

I wouldn't, it is a mix of milk proteins with fats. I think whey is a better tool before and after. It's good at any other time though.

[moush]

yea i figured that sonny just wanted to see if it could be used for its slow digesting proteins preworkout.

[crawdaddy]

diced fresh peaches or the "no sugar" added packaged kind with some crushed up graham crackers is the only way I can get the stuff down, but I eat that every day for my 11am snack. It doesn't sound like it fits Moush's diet but it may help others.

[moush]

yea def doesnt crawdaddy...but hey its all about spreading information so others can learn too! thanks bro

[WelshWarrior]

I find it is softer, easier to eat and a bit tastier (less sour) if I microwave it for a min and half until it is just hot.

[moush]

really welsh? warming it up? hmmm id like to try that but at the same time i dont hahah

[Pooks]

I just put a little salt n pepper on it

[moush]

ah salt? no way its already got 430mg of sodium i could see the pepper tho

[Pooks]

ah salt? no way its already got 430mg of sodium i could see the pepper tho

Try the pepper and let us know lol

[Ejuicer]

I add artificial sweetener, low sugar jam, blueberries or pineapple usually.

[bulldawg_28]

ah salt? no way its already got 430mg of sodium i could see the pepper tho

If you want to add some salty flavor to it, try potassium chloride.
