How it fits into a day
Greek yogurt is strained: the whey is drained off, which leaves a thick yogurt with 9 g protein per 100 g, against 3.3 g in plain yogurt. This one, with about 5 % fat, has 97 kcal per 100 g, and a 150 g pot about 145 kcal. What shops in the Balkans mostly sell as Greek yogurt is Greek-style yogurt with about 10 % fat, which is not strained and has about 125 kcal per 100 g, so check the label.
A usual serving (1 pot) is about 7% of a 2,000 kcal day. How much do you need a day? Work it out in the calorie calculator.
