Cottage Cheese vs. Skim Milk

[BrownBomber]

Why is everyone always so down on skim milk but they love cottage cheese? Is there something that it has or doesn't that I'm missing? I would think there pretty mush the same.

Thanks

good question!
Probally becuase one cup of skim milk, though lower in calories has 1/3 the protein and twice the amount of sugar...

sugar always bad when dieting...

cheese is the solid protein thats separated from milk. Most cheeses are >1g carb per 8g protein. Cottage cheese has more lactose but still not nearly as much as milk.
