I wanted to examine this numerically.

* Great Value Original Vanilla Lowfat Yogurt, 32 oz

Serving size 3/4 cup (170g)

1.5g fat

26g carbs (21 of which are sugar)

5g protein

130 kcal

* Great Value Greek Plain Nonfat Yogurt, 32 oz Tub

Serving size 2/3 cup (170g)

7g carbs (7 of which are sugar)

17g protein

100 kcal

* Great Value Light Vanilla Nonfat Yogurt, 32 oz

Serving size 3/4 cup (170g)

15g carbs (12 of which are sugar)

5g protein

80 kcal

If it's only got 50kcal per 100g, then I assume you've got to be relying heavily on indigestible gelling agents to keep the texture reading to the customers as yogurt. I assume that the developer would suggest that a zero-calorie bowl of water and indigestible gelling agents that reads to YOU as yogurt, is not accurately summarized as yogurt, and that this would be a case of user error.

This is the yoghurt I was talking about. It’s a high quality brand here in the UK

54kal per 100g and 10g protein

3g carbs (zero of which sugar)

Ingredients: Pasteurised Skimmed Milk, Live Active Yoghurt Cultures (L. Bulgaricus, S. Thermophilus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus, L. Casei)


My mistake. This is very close to the greek yogurt I mentioned, but the serving size is different - I was using 170g recommended serving size instead of the standard 100g comparator. Also - all 3g carbs are sugar (naturally occurring).
