FAGE...anyone have a container handy?

msack3889 · 09-05-2011, 01:13 PM

I am lactose intolerant, but I am able to eat yogurt with Live Active Cultures. Not all of them still contain these, but when they do, I can eat them as though I'm not LI.

Does anyone have a container nearby who could check to see if that information is on it? Or do you know offhand?

I just emailed them, but if I can get the answer even sooner, that would be great.

TIA!

I have a container of 2% and one of the ingredients is "live active yogurt cultures." HTH

Yay! Thank you so much for your reply

I know what I'll be having for breakfast on Wednesday

Yep, my full fat says the same thing. Michelle, warning, be prepared to be hooked, LOL!

Shelby, do you eat only 2% now or both? I've primarily been eating the full fat, but, to save some calories I am thinking of switching more to 2%. The start had no 2% just full fat, which is typically just the opposite, so got the full fat. I am having an ongoing terrible TOM so I am thinking I can use the extra protein right now anyway. Btw, I am back down(stats to left). I recovered from the gin and tonic, lol.

I bought 2 other brands of GY, and even though they are plain, they both list "sugars 7 g". Is that acceptable? Is it just milk sugar or something?

As long as it isn't added sugar you will be ok so check the ingredients.

Not in the ingredients list; I checked before I put it in my cart, but then I noticed the 7 g sugar when I was putting it on the belt when checking out.

Cruzcrzy · 09-06-2011, 02:21 PM

The full fat fage is 6g sugar.

OK thanks. Just out of curiosity, how much fat is in it? I bought Cabot brand (they only had Flavored Fage), and it has 23 gram fat per 8 oz serving

Cruzcrzy · 09-06-2011, 02:40 PM

20 grams of fat per 7 oz. Remember, fat doesn't make you fat, sugar and carbs do

Yes ma'am

I'm just not used to looking for full fat in *anything*...I haven't in years.

It's glorious, you will love it!!

silly question - I've only eaten GY on correction days - and I love it! Is it okay to eat on regular P3 days? I end this round of P2 on Friday - and what have I been craving? - Greek Yogurt- I never would have thought. (and German Chocolate Cake - but Fage with chocolate Davinci's syrup will have to do.)

This is Day 18 for me on P3 and I've had it daily, sometimes twice! I've had no correction days. Stats to the left. ENJOY!

shelbyla · 09-06-2011, 08:31 PM

Marie - I eat both the 2% (Fage) and the full-fat (Voskos). I have one container daily and usually eat the full-fat one on days where I have fish and I need more fat and the 2% on days where I have fattier proteins (chicken thighs, pork, beef) and need more protein.

Tricia - I eat at least one yogurt per day in P3, more on cd's!

Msack - my Voskos full-fat (8oz) has 20g fat/9g protein/10g sugar and my Fage 2% has 4g fat/20g protein/8g sugar (7oz).

And I would LOVE to know who decided to make Fage single serving containers 7oz.

msack3889 · 09-07-2011, 02:48 AM

Today is my first day of P3 and the first time I will try GY

Shelby,

thanks for your input. I think I am going to switch to 2% going into P4 to allow for more calories through some carbs, not many, but, time to switch it up a bit. For some reason I thought there was a big protein difference, and there is not. I've only had it once, and when I checked my custome feature on fit day, I thought I had mistyped it in, but, I guess I did not.

I know, right? LOL Chobani is 7 oz too.

Chobani is 18 g protein/0 g fat/7g sugar

jabbok · 09-07-2011, 02:52 PM

I buy the Krema Greek yogurt it has 19g fat, 7 protein, 12 carbs, 10 sugar per serving. I may check into the 2% just in case I need to cut down on the calories, I love the gy and will eat at least 2 servings per day :blush:

I LOVE the Fage Greek yogurt!!! I am not a yogurt fan in general, but the greek yogurt is just so creamy and delicious. I add frozen organic raspberries and I feel like I'm eating a snack. Doesn't even need sweetener.

msack3889 · 09-07-2011, 07:01 PM

I put Davinci caramel syrup in mine tonight. Heavenly!

And this morning I added SF strawberry jam.

Tricialy · 09-11-2011, 12:14 PM

I love it with Davinci's Sugar Free Syrup too - just ordered 3 new flavors from netrition.com - can hardly wait for them to get here.
