Greek Yogurt vs Cottage Cheese

[rcm1201]

Which is the better option for muscle gains and a pre-bedtime snack? They both seem to have very similar ingredient profiles.

[MeatFlaps]

Either one is a win imo. Greek Yogurt is to die for.

[notforeveryone]

I personally like cottage cheese for a pre-bedtime snack more than greek yoghurt.

Exactly. Take your pic.

The difference in 1 serving from either is like 10 calories i think, personally I like cottage cheese more then GY, tastes better. I honestly love cottage cheese, I put it on almost everything and people just give me the weirdest looks. Hell i put it on burgers

I love them both but I didn't know if one was better than the other for a pre-bedtime snack

Neither is better then the other, it's all about your goals, ice cream is my bed time snack of choice.

I love cottage cheese, but I think yogurt is better

[feelsg00dmayne]

i use cottage cheese to make protein pancakes. feelsgoodman.

My pre-bed meal every night is 1 cup of greek yogurt, 1 scoop of Syntrax Micellar Creme Starwberry Milkshake powder, and a handful of blueberries. 260 cals, 44 g protein. I look forward to this meal every day. The strawberry milkshake powder tastes exactly like a Macdonalds strawberry milkshake. For some reason, casein makes a much thicker sludge than whey so its almost like ice cream. Occasionally, I'll use Pure Protein Rich Chocolate whey with the greek yogurt to make a more pudding-like sludge. I eat at least a tub of the stuff every day. For some reason, I absolutely detest the taste of cottage cheese.

It's gotta be cottage cheese for sure, I love it.

[Gusthebus]

Lol @ choosing which is better for muscle gainz. Why not just have both? I had greek yogurt mixed with protein powder x 2 then some cottage cheese half a tub. Got all my protein from these three things today (200g)

[franko man]

i just know that cottage cheese tastes 100x better than Greek Yogurt.

[peanut-butter]

Neither is better, it's about how you fit them into your diet.

[Christiffer]

Obviously Greek yogurt. I think taste is similar but consistency wins here.

[samsmiffy]

Greek Yoghurt with blueberries for me.

[Prestonmayne]

I love the taste of GY, i just cant get into cottage cheese..

This.

But alone, if cottage cheese is all I have I can eat it with some whey and pb, but I'm not crazy about it. Can't get past the consistency. I'd choose greek yogurt every time.

They are both better than ice-cream that's for sure.


OP choose the one that has less sodium per 100gm.

What's wrong with sodium?

[juliacheh]

Fat-free ricotta is the sh...t
My new favorite staple.
I eat it straight, I bake it with fruit, I make sort of crustless cheesecakes, I make desserts in ramekins.
It is awesome.

Thanks guys for all of your input!

What's wrong with sodium?

There's nothing wrong with sodium in moderation, but in general 1 serving of cottage cheese is around 700mg (rough estimate) and most people seem to comsume atleast 250gm in one sitting.


Not to mention most pre-packaged foods are aleady high in sodium.

There is 1% cottage cheese with no salt added.

I was just checking to make sure you realized that

Irrational fear of carbs/sodium/fats etc is one of my pet peeves.

As Julia mentioned there are brands that offer no salt added (granted, I didn't like the taste) - and in my experience were hard to locate.

This has peaked my interests. Been awhile since ive had ricotta cheese.

Well, you guys have got it good. In Australia we don't have low soduim cottage cheese. I don't buy it anymore becouse it make my face look fat the next day.
