Actually, cottage cheese is both. Dairy and protein are not mutually exclusive. Protein/fat/carbs are the 3 types of nutrients; dairy/grains/meats, etc. are types of foods that fall into nutrient categories. So you get good lean protein from cottage cheese, but it's dairy, so you also get the bonus of calcium. Hope this helps!
