* When it comes to buying plain yogurt, you have three major
choices: nonfat, low-fat and whole milk yogurt. Each brand of
yogurt will contain different amounts of fat, protein and
carbohydrate, depending upon the way it is made as well as
the ingredients used. Some of the popular "Greek-style" yogurts
have significantly more protein and less carbohydrate.
