Low fat cottage cheese

Cottage cheese is a low-calorie, mild-flavored cheese. It is known as a component of a healthy diet because it is a good source of protein as well as other essential nutrients.

Cottage cheese is a popular option among athletes. Cottage cheese's proteins are particularly efficient at helping muscular growth. Casein makes about 80% of the protein in the dairy and is absorbed slowly. Due to its slower absorption, it is even more efficient at preventing muscle breakdown than whey protein at helping to build muscle. Additionally, casein encourages the longer absorption of amino acids, which has been linked with an increased ability to build muscle.
