I keep telling myself that I need to train myself to like cottage cheese for that very same reason, but I just can't tolerate the texture. Could I/you possibly smooth it out in the blender so it's more like yogurt? I absolutely love yogurt but I know that it has all that added stuff in it that's no good for me. Which brand do you get that has the cultures in it? One more question: where do you get your macro's? fitday?

I keep telling myself that I need to train myself to like cottage cheese for that very same reason, but I just can't tolerate the texture. Could I/you possibly smooth it out in the blender so it's more like yogurt? I absolutely love yogurt but I know that it has all that added stuff in it that's no good for me. Which brand do you get that has the cultures in it? One more question: where do you get your macro's? fitday? I sincerely hate the texture too, and I don't mind yogurt at all. I only buy plain yogurt now though, which I just throw in my protein shakes because I dont like it plain. My husband tried one of the protein shake recipes w/cc in it and said it wasn't bad (he hates it by itself too). But the shake was a strawberry cheesecake one, so the cottage cheese worked well in it. I buy my cottage cheese from Trader Joes, I don't know if you have one there, but its like mostly organic/no hormones added kinda stuff. I bought it to try to make myself eat it, and to try one of the protein panckake recipes that use it. I can barely stomach it, so I'm hoping it works good in recipes. The only thing I usually use it for is in place of ricotta cheese in like lasagna recipes, but I hardly make that because its time consuming. I'll let you know how the pancakes work out, and maybe I'll try the blender thing, and see if it's any better. I'll be your guinea pig. If you/me still can't bear the thought/taste of cc, then we'll just have to stick with yogurt because it's still high in protein, you just have to eat more of it. If you buy plain "greek style" yogurt, it has like 12g protein per cup, while cc has 12 per 1/2 cup. So just eat 1 cup of yogurt and sweeten it yourself w/honey or maple syrup, or throw in the blender w/some fruit, so you don't have all that extra crap that's in the pre-sweetened stuff. Anyway, although my dh gets his nutrient info from www.fitday.com , I actually use www.slim-fast.com for their nutrient tracker. I started using it like 5 yrs ago because you could make a menu plan and everything, and also log your foods eaten. Just last year they changed it though, so all the meals include slim fast shakes, so now I just use it for the macros. I also really like www.nutritiondata.com/ it has everything, and I use it to analyze my homemade recipes to find out the nut. facts on it.

OK, so usually I'd give an update on whether I'd gained or lost any weight this week, but I'm sooo bloated (PMS) that I'd probably cry if I stepped on a scale today. So I'll spare ya'll the drama, and just wait until the bloating goes down before giving the weight gain/loss verdict. Wait, what if it's not bloat...what if I'm just fat !!!! Just kidding, but it really does suck, it's like I go to bed and wake up 5 pounds heavier, . I'm going to try this new Estroven PMS stuff that is herbal and supposed to help w/ PMS symptoms better than OTC drugs, I'll post the results in the natural healing section. (If anyone needs PMS help, its me. Anyone who knows me can vouch for that one ) Any ways, enough of my pre-menstrual rambling... 8 am Organic White Whole Wheat Farina, cooked 1 cup w/organic butter, org. 100% maple, and org. brown sugar multi-vitamin, b-complex vitamin, hot ginger tea (no sweetner) water 9:30 am Org.
