Cottage Cheese Or Yogurt As A Nutritional Supplement?
Cottage cheese by a land slide as it is twice as potent as yogurt when you look at it as a nutritional supplement.
Not only does Cottage Cheese contain more protein (28 grams per 8 oz serving) then does yogurt (only 12 grams per 8 oz serving) but it also contains fewer carbohydrates (6 grams) versus yogurt’s 16 which is mostly sugar. And those numbers for cottage cheese are very respectable for any nutritional supplement.
Cottage cheese also contains 6 grams of the popular amino acid: Glutamine which can increase growth hormone levels and is a top choice as a nutritional supplement for many bodybuilders.
What I like most about cottage cheese is that it is comprised almost entirely of casein protein.
Casein protein is the “slow-digesting” protein that is ideal as a snack right before you go to bed becasue it will continue to feed your muscles through the entire night! Think of it as a time released protein.
For those of you who “still love your yogurt,” just have some right before your workout to ensure that you burn off all of that sugar. hey I still love my yogurt as well but these days I look at it much more as a treat or snck then as a nutritional supplement.
