If you don't overdo it it won't hurt you. It's just like anything else though, you go crazy with it & it'll come back to bite you.

It's too high in fat... when u have enough protein from it, your fat and calorie intake has skyrocketed...

Like rimbaud said, don't over do it. A couple of slices on a piece of bread, and that's for taste. It's useless as a protein source.

Depends on the cheese, bro.

cottage cheese or fresh cheese have nearly no fat.

I agree that other cheeses are high in fat though. On that, you are right, a bit won't hurt you, but it'll do nothing good for you as well.

Eat cottage cheese when bulking. Put in pineapple chunks and eat it. Or swallow it the wrong way and die....either way works

why not? most of you guys probably use a whey protein which is just a by product of cheese making anyway.

Depends on alot of variables

-individual metabolism
-composition of the rest of diet
-natural or enhanced
-current physique goals

etc etc

Bur for the majority of people the majority of time cheese isnt the greatest choice.

oh, i don't consider cottage cheese as a cheese though... cheese to me is those yellow blocks.
Cottage cheese is great and i eat tons of it. Good protein per calorie ratio, almost as good as chicken and eggwhites.

Cottage cheese 22g protein = 140kcal
Eggwhites 21g protein = 120kcal
Chicken 20g protein = 115kcal

Perfect casein source!

Perfect casein source!

And since casein is a 'slow' protein it's a ideal protein type for your latest meal before sleeping.

Post by: tbombz on October 05, 2008, 02:00:17 PM
the amount of casein protein in cheese is so insignificant that it is absurd to call cheese a source of casein.

cheese is a source of saturated fat. end of discussion.
