Is cottage cheese keto?

Yay! You can absolutely add cottage cheese to your food list when following a low carb keto plan! Cottage cheese, however, can vary quite a bit on carb count and fat content depending on the type and brand you use. You’ll want to check your nutritional labels when picking your cottage cheese. Typically, the shorter the ingredient list and the choice of full fat cottage cheese will give you the lowest carb count.😉This should give you 3-4 net grams of carbs in a ½ cup serving. Check your ingredients as well to make sure there aren’t unnecessary additives. In addition to being low carb, cottage cheese is a great source of protein. Cottage cheese also provides you with calcium, folate, phosphorus, selenium, sodium, and vitamins A, B6, and B12.
