On a competition diet no personally I wouldn't eat any carbs at all before bed (just proteins and maybe some fish oil...). -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

Recently I have been reading of wonderful new healthy foods and trying them!! I have a real hard time gaining weight.. so i suck up my ego and try anything.. i used to not even eat any fish and now after about a year i can finally eat tuna out of the can My question is... How do you eat cottage cheese?? right out of the container? do you mix it with something ? I really dont know... Also, there are different kinds of cottage cheese... 1% 2% low fat... which one should I eat.. i am trying to gain muscle mass... one last question.. how much should I eat before bed!!? a couple scoops in a spoon ? a bowl full... I must sound dumb but never really heard of eating cottage cheese before (i dont even know exactly what it is) thanks guys bonez

I'll add some flax meal to it if it's handy... you can add fruit to it if you'd like too... I like it plain... Not sure about the 1% or 2% issue... I find there is a major flavor difference in the brand I buy and am a little leery about trying another brand... No dumb questions there.. some people can't stand the stuff... I think it's awesome... t -------------- Tim "I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self." Aristotle TimDay@freetrainers.com

efrost Posts: 99 Joined: 2003/09/28	2004/03/24, 11:58 AM I tried something new last night.. 1/2 cup cottage cheese and blended it smooth.. added a cup of skim milk, 1 banana and chocolate protein mix. Was good for the first cup, then I couldn't drink anymore of it.. too much of a banana flavor for me.. Has anyone else made a shake with cottage cheese? I'm thinking you can make a nice cheese cake with blended cottage cheese and Splenda as well.. has anyone tried that?
