What is cottage cheese?
Cottage cheese is a soft, fresh-curd variety of cheese that has been made in Europe and America for centuries. It is an uncured cheese (one that has not been aged), and is favored by weight watchers because it is lower in fat than most cheeses.
In the process of making cottage cheese, the first stage of cheese making takes place as the milk is separated into curds (milk protein and butter fat) and whey (the liquid component of milk). The curds are then gently heated and drained. The cheese is now ready to eat, though cream and seasoning may be added to some varieties.
What role does cottage cheese play in bodybuilding?
Cottage Cheese has caesin protein, which is slow digesting. Thats key before bed because this way it is in ur body longer while u sleep, and since ur basiclly fasting for 8-10 hrs at night when u sleep, the longer the food is in you, the better.
Cottage Cheese is a great natural source of Glutamine.
Can it be eaten on a cut?
Yes it can. Depends on what type you purchase though. Cottage cheese is available in large- and small-curd varieties, with various levels of fat content that may range from 1 to 5 grams per cup.
Varieties include creamed cottage cheese, 2% and 1% cottage cheeses, and dry-curd cottage cheese. All varieties are available lightly salted, unsalted, and lactose-free. Farmer’s cheese is cottage cheese that has been pressed into a block, and in contrast to cottage cheese it may sometimes be aged.

Do I still need to take cottage cheese even though I hate the taste?
Cottage Cheese is simply curds and whey (like the stuff in whey power ). Its a great source of low fat protein, and stays with you for long digestion.
Some people can't stomach it. They don't like the taste, but there really is not anything much better for a fitness guru.
What is casein protein?
Casein protein is a primary protein found in milk, along with whey protein. Casein is the insoluble protein fraction of milk. It is absorbed more slowly than whey and provides the body with amino acids over an extended period in comparison to whey protein, the soluble protein fraction in milk.
Whats better, casein protein or cottage cheese?
Cottage cheese would probably be your best choice because casein IS basically cottage cheese just in solid form. It really depends on personal preference as some may hate the taste. (After you try my shake you'll change your mind quick smart). I'd personally take cottage cheese as its a whole food sorce rather than a powder and has alot more calcium which is an added benefit. But the best benefit is, cottage cheese is a hell of alot more cheaper than casein is.
Here are the calories for different types of cottage cheese:
Cottage Cheese (1/2 cup)
Cottage Cheese, creamed, 1 tbsp 13cal
Cottage Cheese, creamed 101cal
Cottage Cheese, 2% fat 101cal
Cottage Cheese, 1% fat 82cal
Cottage Cheese, fat-free 80cal
Cottage Cheese, Weight Watchers 90cal
From here you can see that there isn't very many calories in cottage cheese, plus most of the calories coming from them are from protein another good factor for cottage cheese.
