Cottage cheese with everything seasoning is my afternoon staple too, and it's wild how much of my old snacking was just habit instead of hunger. Down 35 on Mounjaro and I've been doing the same bowl with cherry tomatoes mixed in for something to actually chew. Might steal the smoked paprika idea since my rotation is one-note.

The 3pm crash got me too until I started blending cottage cheese with ranch seasoning and using it as a veggie dip. Down about 15 on Mounjaro and it's the one snack that actually holds me. Everything seasoning on it sounds like a good next move.
The blended dip idea is smart, might have to try ranch next. I've been living on Greek yogurt mixed with diced cucumber and dill for months now, down 60 and it's still the one snack I never get tired of. Funny how the simplest stuff ends up sticking.
Cottage cheese bowls saved my lunch rotation too, though I blend mine smooth first since the texture used to bug me. Down 56 on Wegovy and the everything seasoning one is still the only breakfast I actually look forward to. Might have to add cucumber like that last poster said.
Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size. Old photos next to today's and the difference is wild.
Everything seasoning on cottage cheese was my gateway too, ended up putting it on the blended version with cherry tomatoes. Down 14 myself and it's the first breakfast that doesn't feel like a chore. Congrats on the smaller size, that's a great milestone.
The blended version with tomatoes sounds worth trying, I've been stuck on the plain texture thing too. I'm a few pounds behind you and mostly living on greek yogurt with toasted nuts right now, but the bagel seasoning bowl might be next. Congrats on finding breakfasts that don't feel like a chore.
Same boat with the plain texture issue, but blending it smooth fixed that for me too. Greek yogurt with toasted nuts was my rotation a while back, everything seasoning might drag me back into the dairy game. Down around 19 lbs here and breakfast finally being enjoyable still feels weird.
Blending was the trick for me too, texture used to be a dealbreaker. I rotate that bowl with a scoop of the whipped kind on toasted english muffins when I want something different. Funny how breakfast being the easy meal now is the strangest part of this whole thing.
Ten lbs in and I've landed on the whipped kind spread on an english muffin too, usually with a soft boiled egg on the side. Still can't get over that a small breakfast actually holds me now. Might steal the bagel seasoning idea tomorrow.
Only 3 lbs in myself so early days, but threads like this help. I've been doing the whipped kind on toast with a jammy egg lately and it's the first breakfast that doesn't feel like a chore. Stealing the everything seasoning idea too.
Cottage cheese bowls were my gateway too, though mine got salsa and extra egg whites by month three. At 55 lbs down I've learned the meals that stick are the boring repeatable ones, so find your rotation early. Everything seasoning on roasted chickpeas is another solid one if you want a crunchy snack version.
The boring repeatable thing is so true - I've eaten the same greek yogurt with berries and a handful of almonds probably four days a week for months now and it never fails me. Chickpeas with the seasoning sounds worth a try, my crunch cravings hit hard some afternoons.
