Cottage Cheese (Low-Fat, 2%)
Cottage cheese is a high-protein, low-calorie dairy product that is particularly rich in casein protein, which is digested slowly and promotes sustained satiety. It provides calcium, phosphorus, selenium, and vitamin B12. Its versatility makes it a popular choice for both sweet and savory high-protein meals and snacks.
