Lowfat Cottage Cheese: A FitMan Food
FitMan Foods have a common and easily discernable theme:
- they are not excessively high in total calories per serving
- they usually contain a good percentage of either protein, fiber or good-fats
- they are rich in nutrients, (either vitamins and/or minerals)
Lowfat Cottage Cheese is one such wonderful Fitman Food. My own favorite is Breakstone’s 2% Milkfat Cottage Cheese and I prefer their snack pack variety because it is so convenient to plop a cup into my lunchbag each morning for a mid-morning snack.
Each 4-oz serving of lowfat (2%) cottage cheese contains:
- 90 calories
- just 2.5g of fat (1,5g sat),
- 15% of your daily calcium, and best of all …
- … 11 whopping grams of lean protein
