Dannon Plain Non-Fat Yogurt

DX14AG Posts: 1,055 Joined: 2004/07/22	2005/06/24, 05:15 PM Is this yogurt ok to eat? I know the problem with yogurt is to find one with low sugar content, but this is pretty much the lowest I can find. It says that there is no artificial anything in this yogurt. Ingredients: cultured grade a non fat milk and pectin Nutrition facts Serving Size 1 cup Serving per container about 4 Calories 110 Calories from fat 0 Total fat 0g Saturated fat 0g Trans fat 0g Cholesterol 5mg Sodium 160mg Potassium 530mg Total Carbohydrate 16g Dietary Fiber 0g Sugars 16g Protein 11g Vitamin A 0% Calcium 40% Vitamin C 4% Iron 0% How is this yogurt? Any good or just throw it away? Well if I should throw it away, it's a little to late because it's already pretty much fully consumed by me. Thanks for responses DX

DX14AG Posts: 1,055 Joined: 2004/07/22	2005/06/24, 06:35 PM Great idea. I'm new to the whole yogurt thing. Just seeing if it's overall healthy. What time do you think I should stop eating this. (not that I'm going to eat it non stop.) Should I not eat this before bed? What are your comments about the nutrition facts of this Dannon yogurt? DX
bropie Posts: 1,084 Joined: 2004/12/04	2005/06/25, 06:33 AM id say it would be ok a few hours before bed.. best not to take in carbs 1-2 hours before bed, but things like yogourt, nuts, cottage cheese are good.. casein protein in them will help spare muscle overnight. the only thing that bothers me is the amount of sugar, but then again, thats per cup serving..

I don't think I'll eat a whole cup before bed. I freeze it actually because someone here on FT said it was good like that. So I tried it and it was great! I added a little bit of almond extract and it was awesome. I find that if it's frozen, I'll eat a whole lot less of it because you really have to work at it to eat it. If it's not frozen, I think I'll eat the whole carton. lol well thanks again for the response. DX

They have a really yummy boston creme pie flavor. -------------- I am that which must be feared, worshipped and adored. The world is mine now and forever.No one holds command over me. No man. No god.

DX14AG Posts: 1,055 Joined: 2004/07/22	2005/06/26, 04:53 PM London, how big is the serving size for those Carb control yogurts? Also, I know I'm pushing it, but are there any carb control fat free plan yogurt? lol I think that would be heaven! (or maybe there is such a thing and they just call it cottage cheese?) Yikes that's a good amount of saturated fat there in that yogurt! mmaibohm, How big is the serving size for the ones that you get? Are they non-fat plain yogurt? DX
London Posts: 176 Joined: 2003/01/10	2005/06/26, 05:18 PM ya, that sat fat is high. I think the serving size is 1/2 a cup. I guess maybe just stick to cottage cheese :(
40something Posts: 2 Joined: 2005/07/04	2005/07/04, 08:32 AM You can mix in sugar free/fat free regular jello into yogurt for flavor. Also, the sugar free syrups or flavored coffee syrups.
40something Posts: 2 Joined: 2005/07/04	2005/07/04, 08:40 AM I should clarify that a bit more, the jello, use the mix, not the prepared jello. It comes in many flavors for a good variety. ============ Quoting from 40something: You can mix in sugar free/fat free regular jello into yogurt for flavor. Also, the sugar free syrups or flavored coffee syrups. =============
DX14AG Posts: 1,055 Joined: 2004/07/22	2005/07/04, 07:06 PM Thanks for the idea. I found this yogurt that has some pretty darn good nutrition facts. It's practically like low fat 1% cottage cheese. It has 100% more protein than regular sweetened low fat yogurt and only 4 grams of carbohydrates. DX
