Does any one know: washing the cottage cheese?

[LoneTree]

I was talking to an older person a few days ago and he mentioned his body builder friends 'going crazy about protein' and 'washing their cottage cheese'.

A love cottage cheese, except for the fact that it is high on sodium.
Does any one know what 'washing the cottage cheese' is?

I rinse my cottage cheese through a strainer, leaving only the chunk casein. The whey in most commercial cottage cheeses is mostly water. maybe that is what they mean by washing?

No clue but its the best thing you can eat before bed time. Nice slow release of protein to supply your muscle with what they need while you sleep.

A personal favorite meal of mine is cottage cheese, a red delicious apple and diet pepsi.

With all due respect bro, on Google search, those are the commercial methods for processing of cottage cheese.

There was only one relevant quote about a tri-athlete who used to wash his cottage cheese 'to wash away extra fat'. May be at that time, 1% fat cottage cheese was not available.

My thought was that probably people wash cottage cheese either to remove fat, or to remove salt.
I eat 1% fat cottage cheese, so fat is not a problem.
More important concern is salt, because high sodium tends to increase my BP and causes bloat.

I guess I have to cut down on cottage cheese.

as long as you are drinking enough fluids, bloat from sodium should never really be an issue

I REALLY dont understand why even if things can be found on GOOGLE people cant come here and discuss about it.
IF you find a topic "silly" or without interest just do as I do ... pass over.

One tub of cottage cheese has 3 gm of sodium, so it gives my whole day supply of sodium. It has only 78 gm of protein. So whatever else you eat, that is extra sodium.

If you drink a lot of water AND eat a lot of sodium, you will be pee'ing almost every hour.
