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.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
