A 170 g container of plain nonfat Greek yogurt provides roughly 100 calories and 17–18 g of protein, per USDA FoodData Central. It’s a high-protein, calcium-rich snack. Flavored versions can carry 10–15 g of added sugar — choose plain and add fruit. Greek yogurt works at breakfast, as a sauce base, or a post-workout snack when paired with fruit or nuts.
Key facts:
It’s strained, so higher protein and lower sugar per serving; both can fit a healthy diet.
Many tolerate yogurt better than milk due to live cultures; try small amounts or lactose-free versions.
