Yes

Thank you for the reply!

I gues I wasnt clear enough. Heres an update from my previous question.

Where can you buy such a product.
Iv read alot of comments and the fat free cottage cheese wasnt available until the end of 2010.

Whats the product cald (And where to buy), what are the nutrition values and what is the price.

Cheers

Thank you for the reply.

The problem is that the woolsworth isnt fatfree. So if you eat 500 gram (The regular amount here) you get 12 grams of fat. Thats pretty grap. You also get 22 grams of carbs. Thats alot more then usual.

Are these values for 250 gram?

Cheers

This stuff is fantastic. I am eating some right now and eat half a tub (250g) every night just before bed with some fruit. Keeps my muscles getting proteined up all night long .

EDIT: Oh, I noticed last weekend that Coles also has a homebrand version for the same price. I do most of my shopping at Coles but was making special trips to Woolies for this so now it makes life easier for me.

I tried some of the Coles branded Cottage Cheese. It is not a light variety which the Woolworths one is so has more fat. In terms of taste, I found it to be a lot saltier. I eat half a tub (250g) each night with some fruit - normally a banana or some blueberries - and the saltiness did detract from the overall enjoyability of the meal.

You can get Bulla low fat. It has about the same as the the Woolworths brand (probably is the same stuff).

The South Australian brand B-D Farm has cottage cheese (quark) which is basically what you are used to. It's fairly common here in SA. You might have to look a bit harder interstate. :: b.-d. Farm Paris Creek - South Australia - Home ::

Edit: I should probably also mention that the healthfood stores are a good place to start. More expensive than supermarkets but you are more likely to find quality local quark/cottage cheese.

Nah, not just for.. I have to choose between sydney and aelaide. I already made my choice for adelate sine that city is much smaller and clarifying for foreigners.

Besides that, Iv heard that overall adelaide is a christian place. I believe myself so I think this is the best place for me.
