Protien Source

[Griz]

I was just wondering if alot of folks on this board eat DRY cottage cheese?

I tend to eat alot of it and it has 21g of protien per 1/2 cup (.5g fat, and 2g carbs). So if you mix a cup in with your scrambled eggs, or whatever your basically getting a protien shake's worth.

It seems to me this is an increadibly cheap source of protien.

Any one else use this? I'm not talking about low-fat stuff here, I mean the real DRY/curd cc.

Thoughts?

I eat regular cottage cheese with my eggs in the morning.

never heard of this 'dried ' cottage cheese . sounds kinda sketchy post a pic maybe you should sniff it

Can I crush it, mix it with alcohol, filter it, mix it with oil, and shoot it?

I've never heard of it either. Where do you get it?

gman,

Definately not sketchy. It's a bona fide product of safety. Same company(ies) that makes our milk up here in Canada and our dairy industry is regulated like crazy.

Spatts,

You can crush it, mix it with other stuff, almost anything you want to do with regular cottage cheese. Although I wouldn't suggest "jacking it into your arm", I might suggest smoking it in a bong...who knows? Maybe your onto something.

I find the stuff in a little corner of my supermarket (and little corners of others too) in the dairy section. Funny they don't put much out but one day you go there and there's 20 containers (most that will fit in that space), next day...maybe 1. All the weight lifters in town go in there and buy a weeks supply all at once. I talked to the guy at the store and he says he fills it up, and it sits full for 5 days and then "poof" it's all gone.

The guy at the local GNC (Got No Clue) I noticed eats the stuff regularly as his lunch.

I add the stuff to my scrambled eggs, shakes, salads, chille, whatever you name it. 1/2 cup will boost a meal's protien significantly.

As for regular CC, the highest protien I can find is somewhere near 15g per 1/2 cup.

The two Canadian supermarkets where I've found it are IGA, and Save-On Foods (a.k.a. Overwaitea - pronounced over-wait-eee).

As I said before it also seems to be called "curd cottage cheese" or "dry-curd cottage cheese". NOT to be confused with regular curd cheese.

If I can find more info I'll let everyone know.

Now watch this, I'll never find the stuff in stock at the store anymore!!

I'll be looking for it next time I'm in LOEB's ( Formally IGA)

With the properties of a slow digesting protien. Gotta find this stuff.
