“Fitness trainer on instagram...”
That’s a big nope from me.1 -
I eat Fage 0% Greek Yogurt for the protein. You can't beat 23gr protein for 170 cals!!0

What a load of rubbish. It is true that the majority of cereal bars are no better than an ordinary chocolate bar and sure, flavoured yoghurts and commercialised breads tend to have sugar added, but so what? These things can be eaten in moderation the same as any other food and will not hinder fat nor weight loss. The individual who posted that also failed to specify the type of yoghurt and the type of bread or, indeed, cereal bar. You can get plain yoghurt, including the naturally high protein Greek Yoghurt, you can get freshly baked bread that does not have those things added and you can also get cereal bars that are entirely made of nuts, seeds and fruits with maybe a little honey for binding them together (sure, honey is a sugar, but many natural foods contain sugar anyway). I would pay absolutely no heed to a post like that and the poster should be embarrassed at their obvious lack of basic knowledge.0

Everyone's covered everything nicely, so I won't bother reiterating. My favorite fallacy that the trainer spouted is the one about your body "not being able to process" xyz so it "stores it as fat".
Think about that for a second or two. How does that even make any sense? If you can't process it, how do you process it enough to store it as fat? Things that you can't process would pass right through you. And yet, this sort of statement about demonized ingredients gets made all the time. And people believe it. It's mind boggling.6
