About Cheese, cottage, creamed, large or small curd

Cottage cheese is a fresh, lumpy white cheese made from loose curds that haven't been pressed or aged. Mild and faintly tangy, it's had a genuine renaissance as a high-protein staple — eaten with fruit, on toast, blended into dips and pancakes, or stirred through pasta.

Its big appeal is protein: cottage cheese is one of the more protein-dense foods in the dairy aisle while staying relatively low in calories and fat (especially the low-fat versions), and it's a good source of calcium, phosphorus, selenium and B12. Much of that protein is casein, which digests slowly — part of why it's a popular bedtime snack for athletes.

The one number worth watching is sodium, which tends to run high. Otherwise, cottage cheese is about as efficient a source of protein and calcium as the fridge offers.
