I need a non fat plain yogurt but can't find any
I used to eat fit & light yogurt which is 60 cals only. I really miss plain yogurt but can't find any non fat, low-cals plain yogurt. they are all 100 cals or more per cup.
Any ideas?

Dannon also has plain nonfat yogurt.
By plain do you mean vanilla? If so, the Lite 'n Fit you're talking about has a plain vanilla flavor. I've seen it both in the individual cups for 60 calories, or in a large container for 80 calories per cup.
If you can't find any of these products at your store, try a different one. The Albertsons, Publix, and Winn Dixie near me carry these items, so I don't see why yours would be any different. Good luck! :)

Oh and those 100 calories are all GOOD calories.
fage makes a 0% yogurt that is somewhere around 80 cal per cup. it's usually in the natural foods section of the supermarket or at a place like trader joes so it might be hard to find.
I've had the same problem. I've had recipes that call for 'plain' and can't find it. What I often do is email manufacturers and make suggestions?
Thanks guys. I mean plain just plain without any flavors. I know that Dannon has plain yogurt but it is high in cals comparing to their Lite 'n Fit non fat yogurt.
I am just surprised how they make a yogurt that is naturally and artificially flavored with 60 cals only and when it comes to PLAIN yogurt, it is really higher in cals.
jules817 : how can I find this yogurt? can I get it online?
Thanks

i've seen fage 0% at trader joes, whole foods, and a little european market down our street. keep your eye out for it and i'm sure you can find it! it's kind of plain looking and make sure you get the one that says 'total 0%' 'cause the ones with fat almost look identical. here's a link to what the container looks like. hope that helps!
Look for it in the bigger containers, not the individual size. Every store I frequent sells it in several brands including store brands - whole foods, trader joe's, stop&shop, star market, etc. I go through one large container every week.
My personal preference is the Whole Foods plain nonfat. The TJ's is okay too.

Thanks teenwolf. I am sure I can find it at whole foods.
Jenmcc: the reason Idon't like big containers is I can't really know how many cals per serving. I have food scale but I don't use it for measuring yogurt. I like the small ones as I know for sure how many cals in it.

oh I know fage yogurt. I see it around but it is 80 cals:(
You can use a food scale to measure yogurt. The back of the container will have the serving size in grams. Just put a bowl on your food scale and zero it out, pour the yogurt in slowly until you hit the right amount of grams. This is actually much more accurate than using the cup measure that they list
I think its okay to go with the 110 cal nonfat dannon. It may be more calories but at least it does not have 'fake' sweeteners like lite n fit. It is a healthy food! If you are that concerned than eat half of a container to equal <60 cals.
Most stores have nonfat yogurt in 32-ounce tubs; finding 8 ounces is slightly trickier, since so many people seem to prefer the sweetened kind and it sells better.
I'd suggest what others have said - get the regular nonfat yogurt and just eat less of it. Most of the time, nonfat is labeled for an 8-ounce serving and the sweetened kind is 6 ounces, which is why the calories are higher.

I have no problem finding plain non-fat yogurt in single servings. So strange. I like Fage or Stoneyfield--some grocery stores will have this is a separate 'natural foods' area instead of with the other yogurts.
Good luck.
Good luck.
I use Total 0% fat Greek yoghurt for everything. They come in 150 gram pots.
Fat free Dannon - 80 cals for 6 oz. So dishing out 1/2 cup of this (4 oz) is 60 calories.
The better and cheaper choice is to buy a yogurt maker, and make your own, filling each cup with only 1/2 cup. Dannon fat free is pretty cheap, at 50 cents a 6 oz cup. But that same amount of Dannon yogurt will make the starter for 3 quart-size batches of homemade. Even with milk at $3.50 per gallon each 1/2 cup yogurt serving is less than 15 cents.

You can get fat free Dannon at Wal-Mart and add your own fruit if you would like to.

Thanks guys. yesterday, I compared different kinds of plain yogurt. Actually, Fage has less amout of sugar and carbs and more protein.
thhq: I will never find a yogurt for 50 cents. :) it is 1.29 or 2 dollars.

walmart has one too..the great value brand
I eat a lot more yogurt than I used to. I like it, I just didn't used to reach for it when I was hungry. There are so many varieties! I try to stay with the 60 calories per container flavors...sometimes add some granola or nuts or grapenuts but I find it amazing the great varience in calorie content from one yogurt to another! I'm not that much of a yogurt conniseur that I would pick a container that has over 150 calories when I could pick one with only 60...why would anyone, if you are watching your calories?
