fat

[angry 158]

I bought some oikos greek yogurt under the impression (b/c i didnt read) that it was fat free. it was not but it was the best yogurt i have ever eaten in my life and it has like 15 g of Protein in it. (toasted coconut vanilla and cafe latte). it has 4.5 g of fat in it and im not even sure about sugar. anybody on here eat this? about how much fat do you eat per day?

Sounds fine! It's ok to have some fat in your diet. You need it and there are much worse ways of getting it in than in a yummy greek yogurt.

Per my plan they recommend staying 5 grams and under for fat and sugar. I've needed to increase my fat (healthy fats) because my cholesterol is just too low. As previous post, that's a healthy choice.

Personally I don't really track grams of fat, I just make sure that the fats I do have are healthy fats. But I do restrict sugar and carbs...... don't mean to rain on your parade, but since you didn't you don't know haw many sugars your yogurt has I'll bet its a boat load. I love 2 kinds of greek yogurt (ZOI and Flage), use a few frozen berries and sweeten with Stevia. Yum .

Your yogurt:

160 calories, 11 grams Protein, 2.3 grams fat, 19 sugar, 20 carbs.

I'd personally go with a lower cal version .

Dannon makes a light and fit, double Protein blended (including the coconut) with 80 cals, 0 fat, 9 carbs, 7 sugar and 12 protein.

It's delicious.

That said, if you are under calories and carbs and you love this particular yogurt, eat it. It's fine.

i love the coffee flavored one too, but my nutritionist only allows dannon light and fit. the oikos has too much sugar (like 19g, i think?) so she said to take a few spoonfuls and mix it with regular greek yogurt so i'm still getting the taste, just not the sugar.

You need some fat! I peronally don't eat low fat or fat free anything, and made my goal and have maintained for more than a year ! When fat is removed, sugar is usually added or worse... Artifical sweeteners. Also full fat items are more satisfying, and I personally don't get hungry or get cravings as much.
