Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Terry, Check out the Vitaglo site for the EAS shakes. They're net, net is about $1.10 per shake. ...Just about the cost of a helping of cottage cheese in my area. BTW, I found that cottage cheese is one of those foods which flavor grows on you.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Hi Terry! I eat a lot of cottage cheese too, because it's cheaper than MRPs, keeps you full longer, and there are soooo many ways you can eat it! Although I have to make a comment on your recipe with cinnamon, splenda and vanilla.... tastes like a cinnamon roll?!?!? Now that's a BFL-brainwash!!! That may taste pretty damn good, but there's NO way that tastes like a cinnamon roll! LOL Here's some of the ways I eat cottage cheese: 1) Plain with fresh fruit 2) With salsa and celery sticks (need to add a carb to make it BFL) 3) Sprinkle with celery salt and spread on whole grain crackers 4) Protein pancake (blend with 3-4 egg whites and 1/3-1/2 c. oatmeal, a little splenda and cinnamon, cook like a pancake in a frying pan w/non-stick spray) 5) BFL cheesecake (blend cottage cheese smooth with 1-2T nonfat milk, add 1T SF vanilla pudding mix, refrigerate until set, serve with crushed fresh fruit) 6) Mix with hot cooked, plain oatmeal 7) Apple " crisp " - mix 1 chopped tart green apple with a sprinkle of Splenda and cinnamon, microwave until soft, then pour over serving of cottage cheese and top with 1T chopped nuts, crisped) Anyone else have some cool ways they eat cottage cheese? I'd love to hear them! Jen B. > Since cottage cheese is so high in protein I've also considered > eating it once or twice a day.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 He said basically not to worry much on getting portions exact. I > find by using a modest sized plate and about equal portions of meat or > protein, a starch, and a salad or veg steamed does the trick usually. Thanks for confirming a solution I'd pretty much come to, also. It's the way I used to eat using a Weight Watchers type of diet where you end up with portions on the plate that looked equal to each other. He probably simplified proteins carbs, and fats to make it > easier to figure. Good to hear!!! That is why I've had so many questions sent to this list, because I've had trouble figuring out this " balance " of protein and carbs. What is a serving of black beans? It is really both a > protein and a carb That is another " point of arguement " one could have with Bill about placing beans in the " carb " catagory. It is, as you said, both a carb and a protein. But if you'll notice, Bill list veggie burgers as an " authorized " protein....but veggie burgers are nothing more than soy beans! So why not place ALL beans in the protein catagory? Some would argue with his logic on that one. I myself am thinking that all beans maybe SHOULD be placed in the " protein " catagory...especially for men like me who's family has a history of heart disease and doctors encourage those in that range to eat less meat (cholesterol).
