Depending on fat, cottage cheese can be of different types:

Regular
Low-fat
Nonfat

The most health-conscious eaters prefer nonfat, even though regular cottage cheese is very nutritious.

Also, people believe that the more fat cottage cheese contains, the tastier it is. And “fatty” doesn’t mean bad.

According to studies, cottage cheese can be a good snack to have 30-60 minutes before sleep. It increases metabolism, helps restore muscle, and has a positive effect on your health, in general.

Here is a comparison. For 100 grams of cottage cheese:

9% fat — 145 calories and 14 grams of protein
4% fat — 98 calories and 11 grams of protein
2% fat — 81 calories and 10 grams of protein
1% fat — 72 calories and 12 grams of protein

Because all kinds of cottage cheese are packed with protein, they are quite nutritious. But the more fat it contains, the more nutritious it is.
