What this plate gives you
Low-fat cottage cheese is about 11 g of protein per 100 g for about 80 calories, which is why 150 g of it with pineapple is a 172-calorie snack with 16 g of protein, under 9 percent of a 2,000-calorie day. The pineapple is the 20 g of carbohydrate. Canned pineapple in juice, drained, counts the same; in syrup it does not.
Swaps
- Peach or mango: about the same numbers.
- Full-fat cottage cheese: about 40 more calories.
- Black pepper on top: no change to the numbers, and better than it sounds.
Keeping it
Cottage cheese keeps to its date; cut pineapple three days in the fridge. Mixed, eat within a day.
