You can also make a "cheese" by taking youghurt and draining it of some of the whey (water). Line a colander with cheesecloth and let it drip , adding some salt to the result. (It's called Labaney in Arabic). Of course this increases the fat % accordingly.
Cottage is such a weird thing. The curd (lumps) are 0% fat and the creamy sauce-y stuff is a mixture of sour cream fat-adjusted for the number on the label.There are various schools of thought on the ratio of curd to medium but it is all a matter of personal taste.

I think people eat too much protein anyway. A friend used to quote some old FDA study which had the average (American) person eating 5X more protein than nutritionally necessary and the average vego 2X.
