About Half a cup of cottage cheese
Half a cup of cottage cheese is a versatile, protein-rich food with origins in Eastern European cuisine. Often enjoyed as a snack, breakfast, or ingredient in recipes, this dairy product is made by curdling milk and separating the curds from the whey. It contains approximately 13 grams of protein, making it a great option for muscle repair and growth. Cottage cheese is also an excellent source of calcium, which supports bone health, and contains vitamins such as B12 and riboflavin. Its low-calorie content—typically around 100 calories per half-cup serving—makes it popular among those seeking weight management. However, cottage cheese can be high in sodium, with some brands containing up to 400 milligrams per serving, so individuals watching their sodium intake should check the label. Whether eaten plain, paired with fruit, or added to savory dishes, cottage cheese is a nutritious and adaptable food choice.
