Cottage cheese

Cottage cheese is well-known for its high calcium level, but it also contains a number of other nutrients that make it worthwhile to include in your diet. It also contains a lot of vitamin B12, which is useful for avoiding anemia.

Low-fat cottage cheese has 28 grams of protein and just 163 calories per cup (226 grams). Increasing your protein intake from foods like cottage cheese has been shown in many studies to reduce appetite and hunger. Protein may also help to prolong feelings of fullness, according to some studies. Furthermore, a research of 30 healthy people found that cottage cheese and eggs had similar fullness effects.
