Full fat or low fat Greek yogurt

Either way- protein doesn't build muscles.
And neither does body pump.
Finally- to stay on topic- I prefer a fuller fat yogurt- but in a pinch I'll use the lower fat if I can- I bounce back and forth based on calories and what I need/am willing to sacrifice.
Right now I'm doing a whole egg/egg white combo- when I get sick of it- I'll probably drop the full fat yogurt and go to a lower fat- and up my eggs to whole eggs.
It's all about checks and balances.-1 -
I suspect OP's English is not her primary language.

Well said!! I really like non-fat yogurt. I also like full fat, but I would rather use the extra fat calories for something that matters to me. I don't like egg white, I want the whole egg. I also don't like reduced fat cheese (except Neufchatel) so I save my fat calories for those things instead of yogurt.

Yeah I can't do plain egg whites- it's icky.
Best I can do it seems is 2 whole to 3 whites- 2:4 ratio is to steep. But I don't mind 2:3 or 3:4. But yeah- it's little trade off's everywhere to figure out what makes food happy for you personally and life livable!0 -
I go for the low fat/light versions. I'm in the camp who'd rather spend calories on something else.0

Haaaa haaa l I think there's maybe a little bit of Englishism going on here . RULE BRITANIA ,, and yes i speak it rather well.0

Ok then clever clogs ,,,seeing that I can't speak English or know anything at all about anything it seems that I post what does build muscle.
wasn't trying to be smart- was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt on why perhaps your sentences are so hard to read.
for example:
".....know anything at all about anything it seems that I post what does build muscle."
what does that even mean??0 -
Ok Jo sorry It came across that way that's all0

I don't like many no-fat or low-fat items. Calorie wise, I noticed very little difference from full fat. I will spend the extra 20 to 50 calories to eat full fat yogurt that tastes much better.0

Sugars added to them anyway to help make them taste better, and still they taste yuk, esp salad cream and Mayo.I don't like many no-fat or low-fat items.

Vanilla's my fav flavour too, the low fat one tasteless, so I'm back on the full fat one now, Vanillas my favourite too, tried it with honey but way to sickly on the tastebuds. Will keep on with the full fat from now on, a little of what you fancy is better than none at all. Everything in moderation !
Mine has to have fat! Lol I don't do fat free in Greek yogurt. For me, then it isn't yogurt its paste! Lol0 -
I eat the yogurt i like the taste of best
That happens to be chobani greek banana 0% yogurt. I put it in a bowl and add 120g full fat cottage cheese and 1tbs chia seeds.
If i found a banana flavour yogurt that tasted as good and was full fat, then I'd eat that too.
In this instance flavour rules for me.0 -

I'm the same, I eat what I love, and what I love is Liberte's Banana Caramel greek yogurt, and it only comes in 5% so that's what I eat. Yum!0 -
Banana caramel sounds lush, I've never seen it here0

Protein provides the building blocks that help to make muscle. Protein should be included at all mealtimes and particularly before and after a resistance training session. Lower fat milk or low-fat plain yoghurt (which tends to be higher in protein than standard yoghurt) is a practical, easy way to consume protein after training.

Whether being negative or...??? You kind of left us hanging there with that incomplete sentence.
Trying to correct misinformation about nutrition and fitness being spread is not being negative.
Intentionally mistyping someone's user name, calling them annoying, and condescendingly referring to people as "Hun", well, that may be a different story.

Either for me. I was using non-fat Yoplait for quite a while, but I log faithfully and always have a hard time getting enough protein. So now I am eating Dannon Greek yogurt that has more protein.

And the incomplete sentence thing was because for some reason at that time and like now only part of the post is getting sent
Hun is a polite word here, it's just part of our vocabulary that's all I think maybe some either have a dislike for me or are getting the wrong end of the stick.0 -
Not having a go, but the only person who is allowed to call me hun or sweety or whatever, is my husband. It comes across as patronising.0

Last. Post for me tonight to clear up the protein debate,

Keeps on doing this today probably having some issues like the rest of MVP over the past few days ,,protein regarding muscle

Why don't you describe what it's doing that is causing so many misquotes etc, we can help you figure out what is going on, as it's not happening to anyone else.0 -

actually carbs and insulin spikes are how you build muscle with your lifting.
But protein is good.0 -

Every single time you addressed @prizepopple you typed poggle. If not intentional then it certainly was a consistent mistake.
Repost after repost? You mean quoting what you said for reference? I find that helpful to know who is being addressed and which specific posts are being referenced.
I don't know what gombe challenging means.0 -
