Amy Shapiro, MS, RD, and founder of Real Nutrition NYC, said cottage cheese is good for people looking to lose weight since it's high in protein and pretty low in calories. One half-cup serving of low-fat (two percent milkfat) cottage cheese is 90 calories, 12 grams of protein, and five grams of carbs.
"The protein will help you to stay full and the flavour will quench your craving," she told POPSUGAR. "Easy addition to breakfast or lunch or snack time!"
