Ricotta Cheese VS Cottage Cheese...
Hi everyone....just a quick question...
Does anyone know if ricotta cheese acts the same as cottage cheese in the way that cottage cheese is a slow-release protein. A PT client of mine was wondering if she could replace her bedtime cottage cheese meal with a low fat ricotta instead and still get the same slow burning effects?? I have no idea so i thought i would bring the question to you guys!!Thanks for the imput!

Ricotta is a whey protein I believe

You believe correct - ricotta is made (or SHOULD be made) from the whey fraction of milk.Originally Posted by twinnett

So does that mean that it is slow release protein like cottage cheese??

nope - just like whey protein powder - it is faster to be digested than casein...Originally Posted by Sar-Wah

You might want to double check the sodium content as well, as some can be quite high.
List of Things to Do.....
1.Stop sucking it in and just suck it up and do it.

Bench: Stayin' off it as much as possible
Squat: What I know about what I'm doing

Being Italian, this thread got my attention.
I look up Ricotta at the US site
http://www.ars.usda.gov/Services/docs.htm?docid=7783
1 cup Ricotta has 256 mg sodium. Is that a lot?At my house, we listen to both kinds of music: Led and Zeppelin!

Does it matter??Originally Posted by TDetroit
Really - unless you have a dislike for the taste or a medical reason to limit sodium (eg: heart or kidney disease) then a little sodium from cheese is not going to kill you.

Works for me, I hate cottage cheese, but now I am off to the nearest Italian grocery store.
