290 calories for Greek yogurt? EEEEKKKK...



Recommended Posts

HINT: Check the nutrition facts of anything new u might buy. Just finished my Trader Joes Greek Honey Yogurt (8 oz) for a total of 290 cals. Of course, I didn't know till I finished, otherwise I wouldn't have eaten it. Even eating 1/2 woulda been too much for yogurt.

Geez, what the heck r they thinking? To make something that seems so innocent so guilty?

I will be reading labels before I buy next time...

The Fit and Active vanilla Greek Yogurt that I get from Aldi's has 140 calories per cup.

My doctor recommends Carbmaster, which I get from Krogers... which one cup has about 60 calories and minimum carbs!!!!

I like Carbmaster also. We have it at Ralphs on the West Coast. They don't make Grek yogurt, tho, do they?

My fav is the caramel "something". Tastes like dessert. I think there's something like 4 carbs - which is excellent for yogurt

Oh, and something else I just noticed: It only had 8gms of protein! Wow. usually my Greek yogurt ( I usually eat Natures Path at 120 calories for 6 oz) has 15 gms.

How can TJ's even sell this as Greek Yogurt? Seems like it should be in the dessert aisle...

Dannon light n fit Greek yogurt for me too. 80 calories, 12 G Protein. Anything with honey in it is bound to be high calorie. My honey jar says 60 calories in a tbsp.

I buy non-fat plain yogurt, then add Sweet N' Low or stevia + vanilla extract or fruits.

My doctor recommended White Mountain Bulgarian Yogurt. It reminds me of homemade yogurt and no additives which is really hard to come by. I encourage everyone to seek this stuff out.

I buy Chobani or Fage plain Greek yogurt and flavor it with Protein powder....no added sugar AND extra protein...win-win.

Tonight I used Torani SF Syrup to flavor my plain yogurt for the first time. The pumpkin pie syrup was super yummy!

Light & fit Greek is by far my favorite... Creamy without being pasty, yummy flavors, lower carbs than most.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
