Kirkland nonfat plain Greek Yogurt?

[Wildo]

Hello,

I want to diet down for summer (non competition), and stumbled across a good deal at Costco for the Kirkland plain greek yogurt.
I would eat it as my last meal (in lieu of the chicken I use to eat). I will also add a tbs of natural PB and some berries.
Is there any issues with too much sugar?

Thanks

Why use yogurt that's been fracked with?

The true benefits of greek yogurt come from the full fat variety. I would stay away from the fat free stuff...anything fat free I would avoid like the plague.

The way I see it is anyone dieting down for non-competition-look-good-for-summer should be able to eat some non-fat greek yogurt. This would include the flavor kinds (ex. source, silhouette), or the 0%, 2% original kinds. I don't want to necessarily say that eating full fat greek yogurt isn't better... But avoiding something that most would consider healthy just seems overkill to me. I dunno, it all depends on yourself and how you can handle dieting. Personally find it much easier to include things like greek yogurt in my diet. Very cheap too. At my local superstore they are always marked half price well before expiry.

We eat a full 500g tub daily both in and out of competition. only a couple grams of sugar in a serving. Original kind if worried about sweeteners.

I can't stand the sweetened ones, they are overkill with sugar and that artificial taste is odd to me. I got use to eating the tangy non flavored (tho it took months to get use to). strawberries helps.
Anyway, I'll stick with non fat yogurt for summer.. And when fall comes around, I'll start dabbing my foot into fattier yogurts.

Btw, I eat 250g of greek yogurt as the last meal.

Some of them I don't like - the ones with sugar, and fruit on the bottom. The ones that I love is anything by source or silhouette. Vanilla flavor my best. only 50 calories and I think 8g protein, 0 fat, and 4 carbs. Can't go wrong with those macros. I'll eat 4 of those at once for a little snack. Similar to having a protein shake.

I eat full fat Greek yogurt throughout my diet...generally only stop a few weeks out.
