Losing weight with cottage cheese
-
Cottage cheese is not only good for general health, it is also very useful for people who want to lose weight as easily as possible. First of all, the product - like all dairy products - is relatively high in protein and relatively low in carbohydrates: it contains 11 grams and 3 grams respectively of these macronutrients. In addition, hüttenkäse is certainly low in fat for a dairy product, with 4 grams of fat per 100 grams.

This combination ensures that it is very suitable for a high-protein diet and that you do not get too many calories with it. Moreover, the proteins also ensure that you can maintain as much muscle mass as possible during weight loss, and that it becomes easier to grow new muscle tissue.
Make your own cottage cheese
-
Another great advantage of cottage cheese is that you can easily make it yourself. This is not only great fun to do, it also prevents the addition of a lot of salt, which is sometimes the case with cottage cheese from the supermarket.

For about 400 grams, bring two liters of milk to the boil and stir in the juice of a whole lemon, or a little more if not enough lumps form. If the moisture turns a little yellowish, that's right. Then pour this curd into a clean cheesecloth or tea towel and let the result drain to the desired thickness. You can stir in herbs or some extra salt.
Recipes with cottage cheese

Of course you can just put hüttenkäse on your sandwich, but those who try to eat less carbohydrates will probably prefer another option. Try for example cucumber slices with cottage cheese, or make zucchini rolls with a filling of cottage cheese and herbs.
