Which Greek Yogurt - Full fat, 2% or low fat?

I prefer full fat..but its hard to find..since i shop at costco..I get the 0%...i mix my own berries and a few drops of berry stevia...yummy!

I eat plain greek yogurt, with the highest fat possible (limited by what my local store will stock). Whenever fat is reduced, carbs increase. With other products, "low fat" often means added sugar or artificial sweeteners. I enjoy full fat everything and by doing that, have gotten rid of food addictions and binging. In fact, it's sometimes hard to meet my calorie goal even though 65% of my diet is fat. I'm just not hungry and for someone who normally overeats uncontrollably all the time, that is awesome! lol

This is what I do, but with plain stevia. LOVE it.

I am generally not supportive of "low fat" products because they tend to add a bunch of other crap - sugar, salt, etc. But with yogurt, it's still the same ingredients: milk and active cultures. And I can get the same level of protein for much fewer calories which leaves more room for me to eat other food later

I eat Fage's 0% plain Greek yogurt.

Not in the case of plain greek yogurt. No additional carbs, no added sugar or artificial sweeteners.

227g Fage 0%: 130 cals, 9 g carbs, 23 g carbs
227g Fage 4%: 220 cals, 9g carbs, 20g protein


In this case, the 0% actually seems like a better choice if you're after protein. No added carbs, as you can see. Info is from Fage's website.

This is why, when it comes to Greek yogurt, I've chosen skimmed. I also prefer to eat most of my fat in the forms of nuts, nut butters, and my dream food: avocado.

OP, I'd go by the taste you prefer and the calories you have to fill.

Thanks for the info. I live in a remote community and I've never heard of Fage. I'm lucky that there is Oikos in our store now (7 g carbs per 175g), since all the others are the low fat splenda/aspartame sweetened junk. I can also make my own, but my last batch failed miserably.

I'd still go with the higher fat, personally, if I had access to it. But that's just me since I do better when I eat most of my calories from fat. Also, I'm usually having to eat a big snack at night to get close to my calorie goal so I don't want to cut fat and start being hungry, or have to "fill up" on other stuff.

I'm not a fan of Chobani's at all....

I like Oikos.. Although, I'm still waiting for John Stamos to appear!!! LOL
