Cotija has 6g of protein per 1 oz (28g). That is about 7g per 100 calories, not a significant source of protein.
Is cotija good for weight loss?
Any food can fit a weight-loss diet, because your total daily calories decide the result, not one food. Cotija is calorie-dense and easy to overeat, so keep the portion measured and fit it into your target.
Is cotija healthy?
Healthy depends on the rest of your day, not one food. Keep an eye on the fat. In a balanced diet at your calorie target, cotija is fine; the portion and how often you eat it matter more than the food itself.
