Cottage Cheese

[BIKER_GIXXER]

I purchased some Cottage Cheese the other day for it's Protein content, but I noticed the sodium ingrident was a bit high, I think. It says that 1 serving (1/2 cup) contains 400mg of sodium. Is this high?

Thanks in advance for the feed back.

Sodium content in foods is not something I even consider unless I'm prepping.

Yep. Although whether I'm bulking or cutting, my dairy intake all the time is very minimal. 2 tbps of whipping cream MAYBE. Too much sugar in dairy.

if you are young and don't have pre-existing hypertension don't worry about a bit of sodium:)
unless you are manipulating sodium levels for contest or other reasons it is not a problem. . cottage cheese is great before bed as it is slow digesting. . .

Cottage cheese is awesome.

Get the 2% Fat one, and have few servings a day. Good source of protein & low fat.

You know, I've tried mixing it with peaches and/or pineapples and it still tastes nasty! Anyone have any suggestions? And BTW, this is not a highjack.

this may sound disgusting to some people, but bare with me...

i usually like to cut up some fruit in it (peaches, strawberrys, blueberrys) and then add a packet of equal. just try it and see what you think....

I like to mix in some flavored DANNON LIGHT' N FIT yogurt with 1tbls of lecithin granules topped off with walnuts or chopped almonds into my cottage cheese

The best thing is a box of sugar free jello, cottage cheese, and splenda. Throw it all together, and blend the hell out of it. It ends up to become almost pudding like in consitency. I eat this every night before bed.
