Is this good?

If satiety isn't an issue, why does she need more satisfying sources of sugar, even presuming that the amount of sugar she "should" eat matches what you think she "should" eat?azulvioleta6 wrote: »queenliz99 wrote: »azulvioleta6 wrote: »That's a lot of yogurt. My opinion depends on what kind of yogurt this is. Gogurt--no. Plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt--yes.
Are you getting enough protein? Are you going over on the carb macro?
What is wrong with gogurt?
If you eat 4 tubes of Go-Gurt a day, that is more than half of the sugar that you should be consuming daily. It doesn't leave much room for fruit or other, more satisfying, foods which also contain sugar.
Even more standard fruit or vanilla yogurts sometimes contain quite a lot of sugar. There is often a big difference between vanilla vs. plain in terms of carbs and sugar. It is worth paying careful attention to yogurt labels as nutrition varies quite a bit.
It looks like the OP is actually eating several different kinds of yogurt.0 -
Grapes are fine, red grapes especially. The only reason I can think to avoid grapes, would be if you have type 2 diabetes, as a fruit they do have a larger sugar to fiber ratio than some other fruits. But for those without that issue, grapes are a great food, the red ones have even more antioxidants.0

@chinny88 - does this breakfast fill you up? For me, it has too many carbs, and not enough fat, protein, and calories, and I'd be hungry again in an hour.

In terms of just weight loss you can eat whatever fits your calorie goal. In terms of nutrition eating a lot of one food can have you missing out on nutrition.
I wouldn't have yogurt more than once or twice a day personally. Maybe replace some of the yogurt with vegetables or fruit.
You can eat raw vegetables or fruit for something fast. Get enough protein from things like meat, eggs, beans.0 -
Looking at your diary for the last few days
Not enough vegetables
Not enough protein0 -
If you swapped that yogurt for a pot of Total 0% Greek yogurt and 75g of fresh berries you'd have 19g protein, 5g fibre for 140 cals inc vit c, calcium, iron0

Just to add to this - where I am fresh berries can be pretty expensive at times. I have found that frozen ones are just as good. I throw some frozen cherries over plain yogurt in the evening, sit all night in the fridge, stir and eat it in the morning (I also add nuts and some cinnamon). I've also tried strawberries which aren't bad either but they take longer to thaw.
I also do fuller fat greek yogurt though.0 -
I like it plain but a tsp of honey instead of the berries will sweeten it for minimum calories0

Ya, when berries aren't in season locally, I buy frozen berries. They are not the same as berries right out of my garden, but they will do, and they are cheaper than the out-of-season berries from thousands of miles away that were picked before peak ripeness in order to transport well. And there are no issues with waste.0 -
If you add frozen berries to yogurt you get an immediate frozen yogurt0

I'm fairly certain nothing is better than right out of the garden but since I let the strawberry patch that came with my house go, I have to settle for grocery store ones.0
