Cottage Cheese Fat Content

Hi Everyone ,

I did a quick search and could not find the answers I was looking for so I am hoping for some insight from y'all.

I eat cottage cheese everyday. I eat the 4% variety and was wondering...Is the fat in cottage cheese is a "good" fat or a "bad" fat?

Also, I eat the cottage cheese as a mid morning meal(meal #2) and for my last meal of the day I have a can of tuna and two table spoons of Cod Liver Oil. Would it be better to switch meals 2 and 6? Everyone seems to recommend cottage cheese at night but does it really make a difference with respect to eating tuna? (I am guessing the digestion rate of tuna is about the same as cottage cheese)

Thank you......

Cottage cheese is mostly saturated fat with some monounsaturated fat. Some sat fat is needed in your diet but most of us get enough through the other protein sources we eat. Personally I go for the 1-2% cottage cheese so that I can add some healthier fats with that meal. It's not bad but there are better choices.

Yes, it would be way better to switch meals 2 & 6. The cottage cheese contains casein protein which is a slower diegesting protein, much better when you are ready to sleep for 6-8 hours. Also you could add some healthier fats to that CC meal and slow down the digestion even further.

It depends how you look at it, an 8 oz package of fat free cream cheese has roughly 32grams of carbs and 32grams of protein yielding about 280 calories...
