Hello and happy Mother’s Day to all you mommas out there! I have a question about cottage cheese. My dietician has recommended the cheeses and dairy I eat are fat-free or low fat. This hasn’t really bothered me until I tried low fat cottage cheese. The texture was grainy and horrendous. I can’t do it. Does anyone still eat full fat cottage cheese? I love it and it’s a good source of protein, I just can’t do the low fat version ?

I am eating the Good Culture low-fat cottage cheese. It’s very good IMO.

I eat low-fat walmart brand. Way better than the name brands. I mix 1/3 cup with a tbsp of oikos triple 0 to give it a little flavor. My breakfast most mornings. I actually wake up craving it.

I've been making my own for the last couple of years and I always use full fat milk to make it. So...yes.

I buy those small 5.3 oz cups of smooth cottage cheese, plain. I mix them with sf pudding or sf jello packet and sf cool whip for a sweet treat thats protein packed. Or I add Everything but the bagel seasoning and a dash of hot sauce and eat with cucumber slices. I do not like small nor large curd cream cheese, nor low fat or fat free. Pretty much do not like cottage cheese period unless its mixed in something.

Thanks everyone for the replies!

I prefer full fat for the satiation it provides, but for less calories I have low fat. Kind of a bummer to still feel like I’m dieting (noticing calories) but I know it doesn’t have to be forever, just for now.

I would think it’s kinda like avacado or nuts. It’s a little higher in calories but loaded with good stuff so it’s acceptable as long as you stay within your calories for the day.

I don't honestly notice much a difference in taste or texture between low fat and full fat but I've had both since surgery and neither one bothers my pouch. I get low fat because less calories but if the taste bothered me, I think I could switch to full fat no problem.
