Which should you choose?

Cottage cheese is the higher-protein option at almost the same calories: a little more protein, a little less fat and slightly fewer carbs per 100g.

Both are dairy, so the carbohydrate is lactose and neither is a strict-carnivore food. Texture and taste are the tiebreaker. Flavoured versions of either add sugar, so use plain.
