Hello there!

I just read a post here stating yogurt containing insulin-sensitive Carbs while cheese (mozzarella?) not. This is very helpful to me since I was trying to decide which one is better and now I know.

How about Cottage Cheese?

Which one is the best from all of them?
(Talking about low or non- fat versions)

Just wanted to see your opinion which one do you prefer as your best and satisfying choice for Protein.

Thanks!!!

Yogurt is a mixed protein/carb, which means that there is a block of protein and a block of carb per 1/2 cup serving.

Mozzarella cheese does not contain a lot of carb, so it really only counts towards the protein block (and the fat block, if you want to take it that far). 

Cottage cheese is counted the same as other cheese, basically just as a protein block.  However, there is a bit of a difference in that it does contain a bit more carb than other cheese, so if you eat 3 blocks of it, you may actually have enough carb to be counted as a block.  I usually take this into consideration when I use larger amounts of it.  But, it depends on your level of carb-sensitivity.  Most people will probably not be affected by the additional carb, and do not worry about it. 

Remember, the Zone is just that... a zone (not an exact point).  Think of a parking zone.  There are boundaries, but as long as you park within the lines, you are in the zone. 

As for me, I think that the most satisfying protein out of the ones that you mentioned in your post is the cottage cheese.  But, that is just me.

If the carbs in standard yogurt create hunger for you, consider Greek Yogurt which has most of the Lactose removed, similar to how Cottage Cheese is predominately Protein with much fewer carbs. Yogurt has more carbs than protein, like milk, because it's a whole milk derivative while cheese is strained. Any harder cheese, like Mozerella, is carb-less so it'll have the similar reaction to a meat, unless you're lactose intolerant.
