any chance it can be subbed for cottage cheese as a protein? it's so low cal and 0 fat and high protein...I'm new but LOVE greek yogurt and it would help me stay on plan...
TIA,

It's still dairy, as is cottage cheese. To be a serving of lean protein, you need about 22 grams.

Too many carbs.

from medifast1.com on my meatless options sheet it lists 1% cottage cheese as a leanest protein option..is that not right?

my 1% cottage cheese stats for 1 1/2 cups is:
cal 270
fat 6g
carb 12g
protein 42g

and the FF Greek yogurt for 1 1/2cups is:
cal 180
fat 0g
carb 13.5g
protein 30g

is the protein not high enough on the yogurt? I was thinking of having 1/2 c or 1/3 of my L&G protein with my lunch and reducing my protein at dinner...

Yes, cottage cheese is a protein option. Greek yogurt is not.

If you want the official Medifast 'word' on it, go to the mymedifast site and there is a thread for questions to be answered by nutritionists. You can ask there and get an official answer.

I LOOOOVE Greek Yogurt so let me know what you find out!

Well my friend asked at her MF center today and her counselor girl told her she could not have cottage cheese and where did she hear that? I wonder why the centers are different than MF online..anyhow I guess officially you can't have it but I might have to have 1/2c. now and again...

Cottage cheese is on plan. The center person was mistaken. You can find the complete, official Lean proteins allowed list on the Medifast website.
