Why I eat cottage cheese

I am eating cottage cheese.

“Do you eat that every day?”

“Pretty much.”

“Do you like it?”

“??”

I think they mean, “does it taste good?”. To which I might reply, “actually, I think it tastes like curdled donkey spooge. Looks like it, too.” Not that I would really know that, mind you. Just a hunch.

But do I like it? Hell yeah, I like it. It is one of the best complete protein sources you will ever find, period. All your aminos are in there, baby. You can buy it in full, low, and non-fat. I usually stick with the non, which is particularly nasty. Because I am a massochist.

For building and maintaining lean mass, I don’t think you can beat cottage cheese. Sure, some of the bodybuilder types will whine because they think the lactose makes them all puffy and bloated. Yeah, fine. All I know is that no matter my current fitness goals, cottage cheese gets it done. And since I won’t be spray-painting my body brown and stepping out on stage in a banana sling anytime soon (sorry to disappoint), a little extra subcutaneous water isn’t going to kill me.
