I’ve been trying to lose weight recently – mostly by going to the gym. My girlfriend is trying to do the same by exercise and dieting. Which means I am on a diet too. Yay. Anyway, I calculated the caloric content of this dish a few different ways – based entirely on the ingredients I used.

24 ounces 1% Milkfat cottage cheese: 540 calories
8 ounces lite Cool Whip: 500 calories
8 ounces crushed pineapple: 140 calories
3 ounces orange Jell-O mix: 320 calories

Total mixture? 1500 calories! Wow! But I split that into 10 servings – 150 each. Not too bad. There are a few things you can do to drop this even further, using the following ingredients:

Non-fat cottage cheese: 360
Fat-free Cool Whip: 300
Sugar free Jell-O: 80
Crushed pineapple: 140

Now we’re down to 880! 88 calories per serving. I don’t know how good it will be, but I can’t imagine it will taste bad.
