Nonfat greek yogurt FAQ

Is nonfat Greek yogurt high in cholesterol?

No, nonfat Greek yogurt is not high in cholesterol. A 1-cup serving of nonfat Greek yogurt has approximately 14mg of cholesterol. The recommended daily limit for cholesterol intake for an average adult is 300mg. Therefore, the amount of cholesterol in nonfat Greek yogurt represents about 5% of the daily recommended limit, which is considered low.

Is nonfat Greek yogurt low in FODMAP?

Greek yogurt is considered a low-FODMAP food in small quantities, meaning it is usually tolerable for people with IBS or other digestive sensitivities. According to the Monash University Low FODMAP Diet, a small serving size of nonfat Greek yogurt, up to 115g (1/2 cup), is generally well tolerated, while higher amounts may contain higher levels of lactose that could be problematic for some people.

Is nonfat Greek yogurt keto-friendly?

Yes, nonfat Greek yogurt is suitable for a ketogenic diet, but you will have to watch the portion size. One cup (240g) of nonfat Greek yogurt contains about 10g net carbs. As the typical keto diet restricts carbohydrate intake to 20-50g a day, you could incorporate Greek yogurt into your meal plan if you control your overall daily carbs intake. It must be noted that full-fat Greek yogurt would generally be a better fit for a keto diet due to higher fat and lower carbohydrate content.
