<\/span>Protein Content<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nFor protein<\/strong>, cottage cheese packs more per serving than tofu. A 1\/2 cup serving of cottage cheese has about 13-14 grams<\/strong> of protein on average. A 4-ounce serving of tofu provides around 10 grams<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHowever, some extra firm or super firm tofu varieties can come close to cottage cheese or even match it for protein density, containing 12 grams or upwards of 15-16 grams per 4 ounce portion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Fat Content<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nCottage cheese<\/strong> has more fat than most forms of tofu in a typical serving. The amount can range quite a bit depending on factors like reduced fat options or what cream is mixed into the curds, but expect roughly 5-9 grams<\/strong> of fat per serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWith tofu<\/strong>, you'll get around 5 grams<\/strong> of fat per 4-ounce portion for most types from soft to extra firm. Certain processed forms may be even lower in fat though, closer to 1-2 grams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
