Cottage Cheese

breakstone kicks ass

I never ate cottage cheese before. I bought one of the breakstone ones with the fruit topping. It's not too bad. I can definately eat it, and have been for a week.

The sugar content is a bit high I think. I was thinking that I'd buy a larger container of plain cheese and add some kind of sugar free preserves or something. Does Breakstone make cottage cheese in a regular tub without the fruit? I know it was said in this thread that some brands taste different than others. I tried the cheese plain before I mixed in the fruit. It tastes ok to me. Kind of like cold recatta cheese.

If breakstone doesn't make a stand alone cheese, does anyone else's taste similar?

I also tried mixing it with peanut butter, I didn't care for that too much.

I cant stand the low curd but the large curd tastes very good with any kind of fruit. I usually eat a couple spoon fulls of cottage cheese, then another spoon full of fruit and do this until it is all gone. Something about that small curd texture is just too thick. So if any of you have a hard time with the small curd, try the large curd. The brand I have been using seems to be loaded with fat and sugar. I am beginning to think I might need to cut down on it to help lower my fat %. Any better substite for this or should I just stick to the cottage cheese? Right now I am only having it once a day with my pre workout meal.

Why not get the low fat kind?

Pretty low saturated fat, only 5g sugar (lactose) per serving. Not really that bad..

Having a hard time finding it around here. The only lowfat is small curd and I cant stand the small curd. I will look at GFS sometime this week and see if I can find some large curd lowfat kind. I could always try the small curd again but it just seemed nasty the last time I tried it.

No sugar added apple butter is good on top of cottage cheese.
Or a sprinkling of fresh ground black pepper.

I like to sprinkle some salt and pepper on it, then mix in some Tabasco sauce...good stuff!
