Why you should replace whole-milk cottage cheese with 2%
Hi, all! Are you on the cottage cheese train? If so, you might be as interested as I am in this expert advice on how to make the healthiest choice. Let's get into it!
Cottage cheese is having a viral moment, but you can skip the whole-milk variety. Go for 2% cottage cheese instead. 'Most people do not need to add fat to their diet, so I encourage people to start with the 2% cottage cheese option,' dietitian Tiffany Ricci said. 'It's the same protein content but half the fat and saturated fat.'
As for how to eat it: You can use it as the base for a breakfast bowl. Make it sweet by topping it with honey and berries, or go for a savory dish by adding an egg and sauteed veggies. A two-third cup serving of 2% cottage cheese contains 120 calories, 16 grams of protein and less than 3 grams of fat.
