The best yoghurt.....

Eating a yoghurt a day is typically recommended as a good source of calcium and other important nutritional items. However a quick look at the supermarket demonstrates that yoghurts come in all shapes and sizes, include various amounts of sugar, fat, artificial flavours and preservatives etc.

My yoghurt of choice is Fage Total 2% as it has a high protein level without being high in sugars and is all natural. My other yoghurt of choice is Weight Watchers which has more flavours, less calories however it also has less protein and many more ingredients.

Fage Total 2% Nutritional Facts
per 200g includes %DV based on a 2,000 kcal diet

Calories: 130
Total Fat: 4g (6%)
Cholesterol: 10mg (3%)
Sodium: 65mg (3%)
Total Carbs: 8g (3%)
Protein: 17g



Weight Watchers Nutritional Facts

per 170g includes %DV based on a 2,000 kcal diet


Calories: 100
Total Fat: 0.5g (1%)
Cholesterol: 5mg (2%)
Sodium: 110mg (5%)
Total Carbs: 17g (6%)

Now compare these with the yoghurt that you're eating and see if there is a difference....
