I would think cottage cheese is an excellent, high-protein food for somebody like you @cdpm who has lost their teeth.

You mentioned you were trying to reduce your food intake a little in order to control bloating. Because it's predominantly protein, cottage cheese takes longer to digest and is likely to keep you feeling pleasantly full for longer.

Best of all it hasn't caused you gastrointestinal issues.
