Unfortunately without the nutrition information it's hard to say.

A good source of Protein will not have more than 10x the Calories than it does protein.

For example if the yogurt has 12 grams of protein it shouldn't be more than 120 calories.

When I eat yogurt it's Oikos Triple zero.

15 grams protein in 120 calories.

I just looked up the nutrition stats on a couple of the flip flavors and in my opinion, the carb count is too high. My preference for yogurt are the dannon light and fit greek yogurt followed by the oikos triple zero. Other breakfast options I use are low fat cottage cheese or a scrambled/hard boiled egg.

I've had the Chobani Flips for treats, but I prefer yogurt that is higher in Protein and lower in carbs for meals. I believe the Flips have around 26 carbs for 12 grams of protein (though my memory is a bit hazy on this), whereas some other yogurts have a reverse carb to protein ratio. My current favorite is the Trader Joe's brand of plain Greek yogurt that has around 22 grams of protein and 7 grams of carbs. I also like Fage, which is far more readily available. I primarily buy plain Greek or Bulgarian yogurt and then jazz them up by using them as the base of smoothies. I blend a cup of yogurt, some frozen kale (I've found that the consistency is better when it's frozen), and enough lower carb frozen fruit to mask the taste of the kale to make my breakfast most mornings. There are a few brands that make plain yogurt with protein in the 20s and carbs that are 10 grams or under.

Siggi's is another favorite because they are one of the few brands that have flavored yogurt that is still reasonably low in carbs. I like having them around for a grab-and-go snack or breakfast, or just when I'm wanting something sweeter. I love their kefir as well, and will sometimes use it as a smoothie base rather than yogurt.

I don't like yogurt. I don't eat it. Just because people are eating yogurt doesn't mean you have to. Like you I went through a lot of yogurt options and came to the conclusion I don't just dislike yogurt, I HATE it.

There are lots of other options for Protein. And I find the macros on yogurt, even the "good" yogurt to suck.

Find something you like that fits your plan, it doesn't have to be yogurt.

Thanks so much when were you sleeved? How is your progress going? What are Macros? And what are you eating I'm so lost!

With your hard boiled egg, what do you pair it with in the mornings?

I used to love the key lime flip. Maybe at maintenance i think it is just too many carbs. So far I have liked every flavor of the oikos triple zero and it has 15g protein so for small 2oz it is more than 5g of protein

I was told to eat Greek Yogurt and surprisingly I actually like it. My favorite yogurt was Yoplait before I started this journey.

Someone else already said it but oikos triple zero is really good and provides what you need. Also, I pretty much have an egg with vegetables every morning for breakfast

I eat Chobani Greek low fat yoghurt with added Protein powder, this gives me 33g of Proteins for Breakfast.

I also add grated 1/4 apple to it, bit of cinnamon and vanilla essence.

It tastes great and I love it.

I used to have Vaalia natural yoghurt prior my op, but Chobani yoghurt has tripple amount of protein, so I switched.

As for yogurt, I like the one the poster mentioned, I get the fat free plain, it is loaded with protein and low on calories and carbs. To me it taste like sour cream, maybe I haven't had food in a while lol! You can added sugar free flavorings, like you use for coffee, also adding powders is good if you let it sit for a day first. I like a white chocolate peanut butter made by Allwhey. You can put it on scrambled eggs with some hot sauce. I like it on fat free refried beans, with a poached egg too. I know Krogers makes a yogurt called Carve Cravers (or cutters?) it is like 60 calories for serving and has some good flavored, white chocolate raspberry is my favorite. I love getting cans of diced tomatoes, krogers makes a salsa style, but Hunts fire roasted are good too. I doctor them up with spices (Cajun, Italian, garlic, black pepper) then cover fish or chicken breast and bake in the oven. The left over tomatoes I eat on top of low fat cottage cheese,cold the next day - taste like cold baked manicotti. I love it. I make a quiche I made a post about, the tomatoes are good on top of that, as well as the plain greek yogurt. Sometimes I just have 3 slices of 97% fat free smoked ham for a meal, low calories and 15 g protein. Bubblebee tuna makes some premixed packets, usually a dollar, you get 3.5oz and low calories and carbs and like 20g of protein, I like the hot chili tuna, again, local groceries are making their own brand. I also use the fat free yogurt to make tuna salad and chicken salad, with same spices as tomatoes above, just put in food processor for the backed breast chicken salad. I made a chicken and tofu sweet and sour soup and added plain protein powder to it, it was pretty awesome. I starting to eat kimchi and precooked shrimp, which for calories is the best protein source I have found.
