Savory: add a fried egg, soy sauce, and cottage cheese

Like stirred in? Or as sides?

  • I think that was a joke, all those things increase cholesterol. Egg yolks high in bad cholesterol, soy sauce has tons of sodium, and cottage cheese high in fat.

    • Cottage cheese is quite low in fat for cheese. The one at my local supermarket is 11.3g protein, 2.4g fat, 6.3g carbs, and it's not a diet version.

      It's still very salty and most of the carbs are in the form of the sugar lactose, I'm not really recommending it as a health food, it's just comparatively low in fat.

    • Haha sorry never meant to imply it was a cholesterol friendly meal, it’s just how I make my oatmeal.

    • IIRC the relationship between cholesterol and diet is more complicated than eating cholesterol == more cholesterol. Especially in this case you're eating cholesterol with a high-fiber meal which prevents a significant amount of the absorption of it.
