Why do bodybuilders eat cottage cheese before bed?

It is rich in Casein protein , which digests slowly over 6-8 hours. Eating it on toast (or alone) before sleep provides a steady stream of amino acids to muscles during the night, preventing catabolism (muscle breakdown).

What not to pair with avocado?

Avoid pairing it with saturated animal fats (like bacon grease) in excess, as digestion can become heavy and sluggish. Cottage cheese is a lighter dairy option that balances the avocado's plant-based fats perfectly without overloading the digestive system.

Can I make the mash ahead of time?

Avocado oxidizes (turns brown) quickly. However, the acidity in the cottage cheese and lemon juice helps slow this down significantly. You can store the "whipped" mixture for up to 24 hours if you cover it tightly with plastic wrap touching the surface of the dip to eliminate air contact.

Why do some doctors say not to eat avocados?

Usually due to the high calorie/fat density if a patient needs to restrict calories strictly for rapid weight loss. But for a balanced high-protein diet, the fiber and monounsaturated fats are beneficial for satiety and heart health.

Is avocado and cottage cheese good for breakfast?

It is arguably the best combination. You get Fiber (Avocado), Protein (Cheese), and Carbs (Toast)—the nutritional trifecta for stable energy levels. It keeps you full without the "sugar crash" of pancakes or the heaviness of a full fry-up.
