cottage cheese

[ZGzaZ]

sorry guys, i know this is the training board..but i really only like sticking to one...what do you guys do with your cottage cheese? do you just it straight? or what do you mix with it? and when do you take it?

This is really my first go around with a big tub of it, so i'm not too sure...I've heard its best before bed...thanks for the help.

Peaches...

 

[ZGzaZ]

hmmm....maybe a good idea to grab for next time? any other good stuff? is it okay straight from the tub?

 

[gymtime]

Straight from the tub is fine. Depends on how strict you're being with your saturated fat however. I believe traditional lowfat CC has about 1.5gr of sf per cup. Not a huge deal, but I stick to fat free anyway.

I have it for breakfast:

I take a large tub (4cups total I believe), and add:

4 packets of equal
1 can of unsweetened pineapple
1 tsp butter buds

Take half the CC out of your large tub, and put the excess in another tub or bowl. (I wash and save old tubs for this).

Put two packets of sweetener in each.

Put half tsp of butter buds in each (this will make fat free taste like regular, trust me)

Then add about 2 tbsp of pineapple juice from the can to each

Stir both completely.

Then stir in half a can of pineapple in each.

I can usually get three breakfasts out of this, eating a little over a cup each morning. And it tastes awesome!

 

[ZGzaZ]

awesome, thanks a lot! I will definately try that

Oh, one more thing....with the cottage cheese and butter buds, you are not going to set any low-sodium records here. If sodium is a concern for you, you might want to just skip the butter buds.

I like the cottage cheese on the thighs of a woman... calorie-free and fun to eat around

[gmanlax7]

I eat it straight, put it on toast or mix it with chocolate protein powder

 

[mtlhabsfan]

I eat before bedtime:

about 5 tablespoons with an orange and an apple

 

[ZGzaZ]

and 5 tablespoons is enough for ya?

 

[WarriorPL]

Do you have a protein shake on top of those 5 tablespoons?

 

[spatts]

I mix mine with black beans....MMMMMmmm!

 

[spatts]

I also mix it with tuna in place of mayo, or other options.

 

[JDarty6173]

I like to just dump it out in a large bowl and pour a couple cups of orange juice over it... Tastes pretty good actually.....

 

[argent]

I eat mine with potato peirogies.

 

[jerkbox]

APPLE BUTTER!......it's the shit....trust me.

 

[blaster220]

At night = plain
During day = with different fruits

 

[OKIE]

Black pepper and pineapple slices

 

[DrBones]

Mmmmmm, I have one damn good recipe that I could handle eating pretty frequently... otherwise I get really sick of the shit and fast!

Heres what I would do, unfortunately, I just did everything to taste, so figure out what ratios you like yourself

Couple scoops of cottage cheese
1 can tuna
Salsa
Cut up cucumbers
cut up peppers
Tons of ground pepper
Lettuce (optional)

Stir all that shit up and you can't even taste the cottage cheese!
Tastes good too!

 

[ZGzaZ]

thanks Bones! I see that you do everything to taste, but can you give me an idea of how much? I dont have too much to waste

Hrrm... I havnt made it in a while... but here is a wild guess You really got to experiment and find out a good flavour combination... but heres a rough guess....
Try it out and adjust to how you see fit

rough estimate of ingrediants
-------------------------------------------------------
1.5 cups cottage cheese
1 can tuna
1 cup cucumber chopped up
1 cup green pepper chopped up (or any other color)
1/2 cup salsa?? (this is really up to you... how salsa like you want it to taste)
pepper to taste
3/4 cup shredded or diced lettuce

Optional extra bulkin ingrediants (for extra taste)
--------------------------------------------------------
Shredded Mozzarella or cheddar cheese
Parmesan
Feta cheese (works well)
Olive oil (yuuuuuuuummmmmy)
Greak seasoning


This shit yeilds SOOOO much protein... its great....
Hope that gives you a rough estimate... you can always add or subtract certain things to make it suit your tastes more

Thanks

I eat tons of it, usually just plain, but sometimes I'll throw a spoonful of strawberry jam in for flavour

 

[gymtime]

needsize...you use fat free or reg?

 

[needsize]

fat free, I've been eating it so long that when I buy the regular it tastes aweful

 

[DrBones]
