4% milkfat cottage cheese

[mileseperez]

Whoa stuffs amazing but I'm guessing it's not good all the time anyone care to add their input?

[bethtwenty4]

Delish. Just higher in fat. No biggie. Tastes much better than the nonfat.

why isn't it??

anything is good anytime if it fits in your macros, plus cottage cheese is far more "healthy" than McDonalds etc

dairy fat isnt a good fat but to each their own

And should we also avoid egg yolks? Our cholesterol is gonna go through the roof and a heart attack is just around the corner. Maybe we should just eat a fat free diet...Or turn vegan.

[m3dude]

the fat in milk/cheese based products /= egg yolk fat

The best kind of cottage cheese, I eat it every day and it tastes way better than the low fat kind imo.

It's fine to eat just make sure it fits in with your macros and it's all good....

This is incorrect.

in terms of health its absolutely correct

How

[Muska28]

I get less than 1% cottage cheese, merely because its cheaper where I get it. If i could afford it I would buy the 4% for 20p more because it tastes nicer. Being a student sucks.

Also, no, there isn't anything wrong with it. Eat up.

No, I don't believe you're correct.

What do you believe makes the fat contained in dairy unhealthy?

[BookMonkey]

I bought some non-non-fat cottage cheese this last time I went to the store as a means of indulgence. Honestly, I don't know if it is just me or the years of eating non-fat cottage cheese, but it did not taste good. Sure it was a bit creamier, but it just did not appeal to me to be eaten alone like I normally would. Its tasty drastically improved when I threw a handful of toasted granola in though...

Well whole milk's fat content is 3.25% so you are eating full fat cottage cheese + some extra milk cream. Go with the low fat or non-fat instead.

Why avoid the fat?

[shambo99]

oh well, i don't think it makes a huge difference, just personal preference. I like the 4% fat, don't think the extra 2% of fat or whatever it is makes a huge difference in the grand scheme of my macros even IF (big if) there is any negative effect.

[WonderPug]

^ My point is that a lot of the "low fat" and "avoid the fat" comments are similar to the "don't eat carbs after 6pm" comments.

[FlamingHomer]

Why avoid the fat?

less calories, same protein content. Better for people on a cut, simple mate!

It's not that simple.

You need at least a certain amount of fat in your diet and, particularly on a cut, one has to be careful to maintain sufficient fat intake. Also, fat may increase the sense of satiety, making it easier to consume fewer calories during the day.

yes but if there is a low fat version then I would go with that, and get my fats from other sources such as eggs and peanut butter. Its up to the person i guess, whatever they enjoy more.

why would it matter if you got your fat from eggs, pb or cottage cheese?

[BookMonkey]

It doesn't, but personally, I like the taste of whole eggs vs egg whites more than milkfat cottage cheese vs non-fat cottage cheese.

Fat is good, but taste matters...and I sorta like the non-creamy, semi-salty taste of NFCC.

I agree, i don't see what the issue is with eating more fat.

[TuffNoogies]

I avoid fats simply because it's more calorie dense than carbs. I don't like taste of fatty foods in general so I eat my required 65g of fats only, so I can fit in more sweet carbs that I acually like to eat.

[shambo99]

fair enough, as long as you are getting your minimum requirement that is not an issue either. It's all personal preference and what works for you... lots of carbs do not work for me (make me tired and lethargic etc..) so i eat more fats and enough carbs that i can function properly...helps i like the taste of fat as well.

Dose and context, brah.

Curious why you think this is the case... care to elaborate? I disagree with you but I'd certainly like to hear your reasoning.

[Mattxj]

Lowfat cc is for weaklings and ladies!

[ggreenwa]

I don't notice enough of a taste difference between 2% and 4% to warrant more $$. Plus it seems like 4% is much saltier even with close to the same sodium. Just me I guess
