Hi, I make my own yogurt and put it in the recipe calculator and that seems to work good, however, I usually drain my yogurt and a good 1/3 of a cup or so of whey come out, I think there are probably calories in that and I don't know how to take them out of the recipe. Maybe there arent' enough calories in that whey to matter though. Any ideas or advice??

    It would be the same as Greek Yoghurt for the type of milk used. Full fat, semi-skimmed, etc.

    Good question. A quick search on Wikipedia has whey at 27 cal per 100 grams - so I guess you weigh the whey and deduct?
