I gathered that there is significantly less carbs and it is cheaper.

Johnnnnnnny,

Yup that looks like the stuff. I think it tastes better than regular cottage cheese myself. It looks like a bunch of tiny white lumps without the liquid.

No, it's not a powder but yeah, it's basically like a protien drink.

I love the stuff at night before I go to bed. Down a 1/2 a cup to a cup and I'm doing 21-42g of protien..mmmm!!

But I find it most useful as an additive to other foods to boost the protien content (i.e. chille, eggs, etc.)

I'd imagine the protien content would vary depending on the brand too though. I think the one brand is only about 18g per 1/2/ cup.

Significantly less carbs? 8oz of 2% cottage cheese only has 8g carbs but 24g prot...that's seems pretty low on the carbs to me. And I like the taste of cottage cheese

Not sure where you get your cottage cheese bro, but mine is 5g carbs and 14g protein per serving. So a 28g serving is 10g of carbs. So if i wanted 50+ g of protein before bed, thats atleast 20g of carbs. With dry curd cottage cheese it would be 5g of carbs. Thats a significant difference imo if you are tryin to cut carbs late night

Guess it's a matter of perspective. Sure 20g is 4x the 5g, but in the big picture 20g of carbs isn't much. I eat Breakstone's 2% which is 4g carb, 12g prot, 2g fat per 4oz so your ~50g prot would have 16g carbs with it...only about 4% of the DV for a standard 2000cal diet...that's pretty minimal. I easily burn that rubbing one out before bed
