By bloating i mean, appearing fat when your bf% isnt actually that high?
Would it be wise to remove cottage cheese and milk on a cut? I'm bulking at the moment and consuming a hell of alot of cottage cheese (about 3-4 tubs a day) and about 1 liter of milk a day.
Would this ammount be "bad" while trying to attain more definition?

Can cottage cheese and milk (or any dairy products) cause bloating?

High sodium in cottage cheese = water retention = BLOATING
Cut down on the cottage cheese, get some whey and lean meat in there.
Too much cottage cheese / milk will also be bed due to the vast amount of lactose you'll be ingesting. If you're even slightly lactose intolerant, which most people are to a point, that will cause you to bloat!
I'll take my reps green thanks

I edited my post a bit, see above.
Lactose in ****ing horrendous as most if not all humans are intollerant of it to a certain degree.
It causes bloating, excess mucus, tiredness, allergy type symtoms and is enerally bad ****. Cows Milk is designed to fatten up calfs, not for humans to consume.
Eating diary is very un-natural, humans being the only animal who:
a) continue to drink milk past infancy
b) drink the milk of another animal
The amount of lactose you'll be ingesting is huge and you need to cut it down badly!!!Last edited by debrovnik; 03-11-2008 at 03:27 AM.

Yes i understand that, i usually have about 350g of (cottage cheese) at a time, maybe an average of 3-4 times daily.
I dont find myself intolorant to it at ALL, it goes gown very well, only on a select few instances where ive eaten 500+ grams at once did it cause a bad reaction.
How many servings should i limit myself to if i want to cut? i cant cut it out all together can i, it's one of the best sources of protein?

no, dairy is very beneficial on a cut or bulking, fit them into your macros.. getting calcium when eating a high protein diet is very important, and the whey/casein blend from these products are also very good for your body. Vitamin D and calcium are hard to find otherwise, and they are great sources of cheap protein foods.
btw they do make NO SODIUM cottage cheese.. try friendship.. its the best stuff!

lol im really confused. IN the book im currently reading it said dairy products causes a bloated look also. At the moment i always count the lactose in dairy and it fits my daily ratio, for example id eat somthing like 350g cottage cheese and 1 slice of whole grain bread which gives me roughly 40g protein 30g carbs in total.
Im wondering how many servings i can have a day in total or if i should drop it alltogether as part of a cutting diet

You probably wouldn't notice the intolerence - I didn't for ages, I was eating about 1kg of cottage cheese a day.
Excess mucus in you throat, tiredness, stomach cramps, just small things really, things that you wouldn't really attribute to an intolerence.
But it's there... lurking...BMBC - DinoT1985

stop over stressing, drink your shakes with milk and fit it into your diet, it bloats some people because they are lactose to this much dairy, reduce your cottage cheese to your before bed meal, keep ur milk in your shakes, and other then that focus on other whole foods... its very simple man.
Dont stress over soemthing so small, and no if a shake is mixed with water it could still release slow with fats added to it like peanut butter / olive oil .. etc etc
keep the skim milk post-workout it creates a bigger insulin response which is beneficial right after working out
read the discussing in my sig if you do not believe me
