The Cheese You're Not Serving at Parties
We're talking about: Cottage cheese
Why you should eat more of it: A single cup of cottage cheese with 1 percent fat contains a whopping
28 grams of protein, nearly 9 grams more than a container of
plain low-fat Greek yogurt. It also has 12 percent of your daily calcium needs and is a good source of phosphorous, which helps calcium strengthen your bones and prevent osteoporosis, says Jeffers.
Keep this in mind too: The fat content can vary from 0 to 4 percent, but choosing a variety with at least some fat can help you feel fuller.
