Cottage cheese complaint
 

5 carbs!! What the crap! Check your fridge and let me know if you have less and the brand please. Years ago I found some with 2 carbs, but they were bought out by Dean, why not save the recipe?!! Needless to say, I only had a small bite with lunch.

Darigold 2% is 2.5 carbs (I think). I stopped eating it this past fall though so I don't currently have the container handy

the one i use is Friendship 1% (for the taste)whipped(for the thrill)
 

it is 4 gr per 1/2 cup. I must confess, it is so easy to eat the whole 16 oz container. Love & Profits: FLATFERENGHI

I have both Darigold and Umpqua 4% and both say 5 carbs.
This is a protein food and I don't count carbs in any of them....of course, I am not much of a counter since I know what's in everything, pretty much.

I've been eating Daisy 4%; it's 3 gr per 1/2 cup. Love the convenience and the taste!

I also use Daisy 4%.

I eat "Kalona Super Natural Organic Full Fat Cottage Cheese," which is 3 grams of carbs per half cup. The higher the fat content, the lower the carbs, in general. And full fat is more delicious, too, I think.

I buy Kalona SuperNatural cream top (4% milk fat) and it has 3 g carbs per 1/2 cup. Ingredients: Certified Organic Grade A Milk, Organic Grade A Cream, Celtic Sea Salt®, Organic Skim Milk, Cultures.

ETA: Didn't see post above mine until after I posted. I totally agree, it tastes great!

Just looked on the Dairgold website and it appears all varities have 5 g carbs (or more for flavored) per 1/2 cup.

Looks like a great option too! I have been buying Daisy sour cream because it is the only one I can find without lots of other junk in it, just cream.

yeah, cottage cheese just doesn't work very well if you are really watching carbs. carbier than we would expect it to be!

I like it with celery and cherry tomatoes, salt and pepper, and a little vinaigrette--- a 1/2 cup with those things added makes a great lunch!

I don't think the carbs are that high. If you don't "waste" your carbs on stuff like artificial sweeteners and lc products even those 20 can go a long way. Half a cup at 3-5 carbs isn't bad and a cup can make a very filling meal for just 6-10.

The trick is to portion out the amount because it's one of those foods where it doesn't seem like a lot when you are spooning it out of the container.

My meijer brand is 4.

I don't think cottage cheese is any more "carb-y" than other cheeses. I just make sure not to overdo. It depends on your carb limits, whether you can include such cheeses into your plan.

Michigan brand has 3gms per 1/2 cup, and just happens to be one of my favorites in terms of taste. Not sure about availability outside of the Midwest though :/

It's a good thing I'm in Indiana! I'll have to try it again, a few years ago I wasn't too impressed with it. Thanks!

You are right. Could be why I stopped eating it :laugh:
