Ive been carb cycling for a while, and just wondering your thoughts on the carbs in cottage cheese. On a "no carb" day, if a meal is 1 cup of cottage cheese 1%, thats 10carbs!
Any opinions?

I was wondering the same thing. Cottage cheese is definitely a staple in my diet.

I used Cottage Cheese/PB right before bed on no-carb days.
Didn't seem to hinder me none, although the last 2 weeks on the carb cycling diet I cut out cottage cheese and just took protein shake and fish oil at bedtime.

I *think* not sure, that higher fat % cottage cheese should have fewer carbs

Higher fat cottage cheese does have less carbs. 4% usually has 3 grams per 1/2 C. However, Friendship Whipped 1% also has 3 grams per 1/2 C.

I can not find anything higher than 2%, which has 4 carbs for 1/2 cup. 1% is 5 carbs 1/2 cup

Huh....well I don't live in Canada, so I don't what stores are out there.

Wanted to revisit this subject now that I'm Carb Cycling. Can you eat low fat 0-1% cottage cheese on no carb day?? I sure do love cottage cheese and would hate to have to delete it. TP doesn't really touch this subject directly in his article.

Av8, no I am pretty sure no cottage cheese on no carb days.

Buy dry curd pressed cottage cheese, no salt added. 1.4g of carbs per 100g, 20g of protein, 0.9g of fat, very little sodium.
Peace.

Premo where do you buy that?
I buy organic low sodium kind.

Crud! I guess I cheated a little today then. I ate a cup of 1% LF cottage cheese. Only 10gms of carbs, it shouldn't kill me. I'll cut it out on the next no carb day.

Jen, I buy mine at the health store or Valumart here in Toronto. It's expensive, though, so I just stick to steaks before bed. It's the Western Creamery brand, I don't know if you have that over there.
Peace.
