Here's a question actually:
Poeple here enjoy their reduced fat cottage cheese. How is reduced fat mature/cheddar in comparasion? I've been finding it irresistable when sprinkled in with some scrambled eggs on a morning! Macro wise it's not bad at all, but is the type of protein actually any good?

Cottage cheese is basically Casein protein which takes hours to digest, perfect for before bed if you don't want to spent like 50-60 euro on a tub of casein protein.

Also WTF is macros?! Pfft bodybuilders.
Eat like a king, move like a sloth and train like demon.

Powerlifting HO!

Aiye I understand what cottage cheese is, just wondering if even reduced fat cheddar etc still contains casein, or if it's just because cottage cheese is essentially the left-over curds which is perhaps the only part of the cheese making process that contain casein.......? :)

Edit: Looking at the cheese making process (can't believe I'm doing this?!) it seems they use rennet to create a live reaction to remove the whey from the cheese. So whilst cheddar still has a fair bit of protein in it, I'm not too sure where it comes from!
