In this short video, the creator shares a personal habit of eating cottage cheese and egg whites each morning for eight months and introduces a new low‑carb, high‑protein oat bowl that incorporates those staples. She walks through the cooking method: simmer oats, stir in egg whites until a thick texture forms, then blend in cottage cheese, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and stevia. The bowl is served warm and can be topped with berries, nuts, honey, or other macro‑friendly options. She notes the specific nutritional content of the version she made—about 30 g of protein and roughly 40 g of carbs—positioning it as a suitable breakfast or pre‑workout meal. The tone is casual yet instructional, emphasizing flexibility for individual macro goals.

I've been eating cottage cheese and egg whites almost every single morning for, oh, I don't know, 8 months or so. So just recently I decided to create something a little different that uses those two ingredients, and it's this little oat bowl. It's still very low carb friendly, and you can make it even more so depending on exactly what you put in it. But it started out with cooking the oats a little bit, and then you stir in the egg whites As they cook, you keep stirring and it just creates this nice thick consistency. Then I add some cottage cheese, cocoa powder, cinnamon, stevia, give that a good mix, and then you're pretty much ready to top off this porridge bowl. It's super warm, nourishing, full of protein. I added berries to the top, but you could also add nuts, honey, really whatever fits your macros. This particular way I made the bowl today had 30 grams of protein and just about 40 grams of carbs, so makes a breakfast or pre-workout.
