I don't think cottage cheese is a good idea. It's awfully high in sodium. Eggs are nice. Maybe egg whites.

Why not add a protein shake. Whey or soy or milk and egg. So you're a lacto-ovo-pesci vegetarian. That gives you lots of options to increase your protein intake.

I'd be gradual in my approach to adding foods. I'd keep a journal of my progress. Vince Gironda wrote about taking a scientific approach to the introduction of foods. You might get some good ideas from what he had to offer.

Sure, CC is high in sodium... if you're eating 5 pounds of it a day.

Sodium is not an enemy. I wish people would get over that stupid bro-logic thinking.

Sodium is needed to sustain proper muscle function and fluid levels. High levels of sodium, over long periods of time, *can* lead to hypertension. But that's if someone's taking in something stupid like 12,000mg a day. Every day.

Yeah, maybe for somebody in good health. But here's a guy with self-reported blood pressure trouble, who takes medication for that issue. Probably his doctor has told him to keep the sodium intake low, considering this. There's plenty of sodium in other foods listed in his diet. Sodium probably is this guy's "enemy."
