Cottage cheese has many health benefits, whether or not you\u2019re trying to lose weight, gain muscle, or eat healthier. Cottage cheese is full of selenium, Vitamin B, and calcium, among other nutrients. With its low-calorie and high-protein characteristics, it\u2019s a good option if you need to lose a couple of pounds because it helps keep you full for extended periods.
