About One tablespoon cottage cheese
One tablespoon of cottage cheese is a small serving of this creamy dairy product, often associated with Eastern European and American cuisines. It is made by curdling milk and separating the whey, resulting in a mild flavor and slightly chunky texture. This portion contains approximately 10-15 calories, with a mix of protein and very minimal fat depending on the variety—fat-free, low-fat, or regular. Cottage cheese is a high-protein food, making it a popular choice for those seeking muscle repair and hunger satisfaction with lower calorie content. It provides small amounts of calcium and phosphorus, contributing to bone health. However, some varieties can be high in sodium, which may not suit all dietary restrictions. Cottage cheese is versatile, often paired with fruit, vegetables, or spices, making it a nutritious addition to many meals.
