Type of cheese helps weight loss and muscle building, says expert

In the UK, we're big cheese enthusiasts as Grocery Trader found it is in 94 per cent of all fridges. Many health bodies recommend moderate cheese consumption due to its high saturated fat and calorie content.

But one expert says increasing intake of a particular type of cheese could help with weight loss and workout efforts. Edward Mather, head nutritionist at Fuel Hub, said: "Cottage cheese is having its moment in the limelight - and it's about time.

It's a convenient, ready-to-eat option perfect for busy lifestyles and quick meals. Beyond its practicality, cottage cheese's mild flavour and creamy texture make it a versatile ingredient easy to add as part of a balanced meal or as an on-the-go snack." "Packed with protein, low in calories, and rich in essential micronutrients, it's also a nutrient-dense choice that supports overall health and well-being.

It definitely deserves the hype," reports Wales Online. A 100-gram portion of low-fat cottage cheese contains just 84 calories, significantly less than standard cheddar, which packs around 400 calories per 100g.
