Two Dumb Questions :)



Recommended Posts

Hi sorry for these questions but actually am curious! Ok, one I'm on soft foods.... I love yogurt can't do plain .... is everyone not eating flavored yogurts?! Like chiaboni? There's are not super low sugar. And does anyone know what the number we should keep our sugar to daily!?

Also is there a way to only track Protein on MFP my fitness pal, or see it where it shows calories?!

I've found that different docs have different ideas on carbs (sugars). I eat the flavored yogurts as long as they are fat-free. My doc's opinion is that as long as most of your carbs are "good" carbs it's OK (fruit is a good carb). If you have Kroger grocery stores where you live, their Carb Master line of yogurt is really good. Only 4 gr carbs in a 6 oz container. Not quite as much Protein as Greek yogurt (9 gr) but still very good.

Some people get the plain non-fat Greek yogurt and add some of the sugar free syrups to it (like Torani or DaVinci) but I don't care for that as much as I like the fruit flavored yogurts.

In comparing non-fat Greek yogurts, I think Yoplait's Protein & carbs are a bit better than Chobani and some others so that's the one I most frequently eat.

As far as MFP - can't help much there. I got frustrated with it and went back to keeping an old fashioned pen/paper food journal :)

you should try fitclick. i cant do mfp at all. try it, it caculates Protein and everything else and has all foods in their data base.

yoplait makes a good greek yogart now with fruit give it a try.

If ur on the mfp app on ur iPhone (and I'm saying iPhone because I tried showing a friend on her blackberry and she didn't have that option)...u know where u login ur food? At the top it says summary and u have the option of clicking daily weekly and I think monthly? Click on weekly and at the top right corner there are a bunch o different graph type icons. Click on them and explore! One of them tells u how much Protein u should eat in a week, how much u have eaten and If u achieved ur goal. Also does the same for cholesterol sugar carbs etc. I hope that makes sense !! :)

My doctor told me not more the 6 g of ADDED sugar per meal. Naturally sugar doesn't count like in fruit.< /p>

I say we really shouldn't have any unnatural sugar, we don't need it. Plain greek yogurt is full of Protein and delicious!

I use plain Greek yogurt out I always add fruit or berries to it. I especially like frozen mango chunks & the frozen dark cherries. I defrost the fruit, sprinkle with cinnamon and mix into my yogurt. Not super sweet, but cuts the taste of the Greek yogurt.

I like the Dannon Light 'n Fit Greek Yogurt. It comes in vanilla, Cherry, strawberry, and I think Blueberry. Artificial sweeteners, nonfat, and 9 grams of Protein in an 80 calorie serving. Yum!

Sorry, 12 grams of Protein. There was a thread on here a little while ago about "fake" Greek yogurt. Read the labels to make sure yours doesn't have thickeners, gelatins, gums, etc.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
