Cottage cheese vs Greek yogurt for GLP-1 protein?
Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt are both strong GLP-1 protein sources, and the better pick can depend on the day. Cottage cheese delivers about 25 grams of protein per cup and 13 grams per half cup, with a denser texture and more casein, the slow-digesting protein that drips amino acids into the bloodstream over hours. Greek yogurt delivers about 17 to 20 grams per cup with a lighter texture and more whey, faster digesting and often easier on a queasy stomach. Cottage cheese can be a good evening choice because casein supports overnight muscle protein synthesis, and Greek yogurt can be a good morning choice when nausea is worst. Keeping both in the fridge means a low-appetite day usually has at least one tolerable option.
