Addicted to cottage cheese?

[tigercat]

Can someone tell me why someone would be addicted to cottage cheese? My dd is pregnant and I think I have her cravings. She is fine but I am having a problem. It takes all my will power not to have cottage cheese with a little bit of raspberry jam for all my meals. If you asked me right now what I really would like to eat, that is it. Weird. I will have it for breakfast or lunch. I have it for snacks and if I had to find supper for myself I would gladly have that. What is in it that I am craving???

I don't know the answer to your question, but wanted to offer this:
Low-fat Cottage Cheese is a super food. Very filling and good for you. Add a few blueberries and you couldn't ask for a better meal. So, eat away, it's ok!

Congrats to your DD.

I don't really know, but I know some doctors say that when you crave something that badly (not like craving a candy bar), there's something in it that your body is currently lacking..

I'm waaaaaaaaaay beyond child bearing age and I'll often get cravings that go on for months for odd "food" items - not junk.. Then all of a sudden, I have no desire for them.. Weird..

I like cottage cheese, as PP said it is a great snack health wise, but I can't say I'm addicted to it or any other food.

I love cottage cheese with canned peaches or pineapple. Not fresh stuff, it has to be canned.

I think cottage cheese is YUCK!

Does it have a high salt content? Maybe that is the craving

Cottage cheese is a good healthy food.

Unfortunately, my cravings run to the high sugar, high fat, high calorie foods.

I seem to remember that it is a medium to high sodium food.

Anyway I love cottage cheese and my favorite is to dip frito scoops in it! No sodium there....

I craved it like you are doing when I was pregnant with our 2nd DD. It had to be the cottage cheese with chives. Soooo good!

This is my favorite snack! I put a little ranch dressing in the cottage cheese....mmm....could make a meal out of it! LOL!

High in protein! It is an awesome food!!

This is great. Everyone around here that I talk to hates cottage cheese and thinks I am really off the wall. I am glad some people like cottage cheese. I will have to check the salt levels. What should I be looking for? What is a bad level? I do eat the low fat one always, besides it is usually cheaper as well. C. Ann I am well past child bearing years as well and I know that my dm would get cravings for things for months and then not want it again. She had a craving for celery. She used to buy 2 or 3 bunches a week. I haven't had this before and it started after my dd found out she was pregnant. If it is "her" craving it might go away soon right? LOL Well I think I'll go get my breakfast now..I wonder what I should have...I know cottage cheese.

Are you eating the same and adding the cottage cheese or are you eating less and then supplementing your meal with the cottage cheese?

If you want to conquer your craving then I suggest watching how cottage cheese is made. I did when I was young and haven't eaten it since

When I was preggo's with my second I craved toothpaste, and would eat little bits of it, but only the arm and hammer kind.

Yech!!!!!!!!! I love cottage cheese, but NOT with ranch dressing!

I've been going through cottage cheese like crazy. I try to eat healthy, so I put it on everything. It's a great substitute for cheese, overall. I put it in my vegetables and pasta. I eat it for lunch with cold, diced chicken. I layer it with salsa for a taco dip. And thanks to everyone for some of these other ideas. I love to eat, and when I find that something I like is good for you, I go nutso with it!

Cottage cheese is very high in sodium, but there are worse foods to crave.

We buy a huge tub of cottage cheese (2 qts ?) and it does not last a week in our house. And it is the same routine. Cottage cheese gets opened immediately for a taste test by the DH to ensure the quality... then it's gone!!!!

 

[jme829]

YUMMMMM I eat it almost every day for breakfast...I get a 5lb tub at Sams club for $5!!! super deal as even our local Walmart stores usually sells a 1lb tub for at least $2!!!

My kids and I like it on our baked potatoes too...very simialr to sour cream but without all the fat!

Lots of calcium and protein.

It's one of my favorite foods!

I have found that people either love cottage cheese or think it is the most gross thing ever. There is very little middle ground it would seem.
