Lean Protein and Low Carb Scrambled Eggs with Cottage Cheese

If you think of cottage cheese as a bland and boring diet food, you might want to give it another chance because not only is it good for you and packed with protein, but it also really works well in flavourful and nutritious meals. Each cup of low-fat cottage cheese contains 163 calories to fuel your active lifestyle and also adds nutritional value to your diet. Incorporate cottage cheese into your meals to reap the many health benefits of its nutrient content.

Eggs are a very good source of inexpensive, high quality protein. More than half the protein of an egg is found in the egg white along with vitamin B2 and lower amounts of fat and cholesterol than the yolk. The whites are rich sources of selenium, vitamin D, B6, B12 and minerals such as zinc, iron and copper.

Combine both the two ingredients together and you have yourself the ideal muscle building recipe which is full of protein, low in carbs and also low in fat and calories.
