Cottage cheese should be your best friend whether you are trying to lose weight or gain muscles or strength. I always have it stocked up in my fridge. Without fail. It is very low in calories, very low in carbohydrates and contains only very little fat but it is loaded with casein which is good quality protein that helps your muscles to repair after strength training. Casein digest more slowly than other types of protein which makes cottage cheese the perfect food choice before bed as it can supply your muscles with steady stream of amino acids to repair them while you sleep. Cottage cheese also has high satiety level which means that it will make you feel full for longer. You can eat it plain or with fruits, I love it with just raw vegetables or eggs and tuna for extra protein.
This truly deserves to be called superfood.
Have a fit day!
