Yogurt?

justjenny

This may sound like a stupid question, but I always eat yogurt on my "low carb day" because I consider it "protein"...but I have noticed that there are quite a lot of carbs in it as well. I eat FACE greek yogurt.

Am I sabotaging myself? Should I save the yogurt for the "high carb days"? Or does that fact that there are about 12 grams of protein override that?

Non-fat plain greek yogurt is considered a protein on CTL. So, you should be fine. If you flavor it with fruit though, you should have it either for breakfast, or on a high carb day.
