What is the nutritional value of yogurt?
-
Dr. Michael T Murray answered:Like other milk products, yogurt is a very good source of protein, calcium, phosphorous, riboflavin, and vitamin B12. It is also a good source of pantothenic acid, biotin, selenium, zinc, and potassium. A 31/2ounce (100 gram) serving of low-fat yogurt provides 63 calories, 5.3 grams of protein, 6 milligrams of cholesterol, 1.6 grams of fat, and 7 grams of carbohydrate, mostly as lactose. Frozen yogurt provides 127 calories, 3 grams of protein, 13 milligrams of cholesterol, 3.6 grams of fat, and 21.6 grams of carbohydrate, mostly as sugars.

Amy Jamieson-Petonic of Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics answered:Yogurt is a good source of calcium and protein. The Recommended Daily Intake for calcium for most adults is 1,000- 1,200 milligrams per day. You can get as much as 300- 400 milligrams of calcium in one cup of non fat, plain Greek yogurt, and protein as well.
Try one of my favorite snacks: one cup of non-fat Greek yogurt with fresh strawberries, blueberries and raspberries and 1 TBSP of chia seed. This is so good!
