Per 100 grams, this form of yogurt contains 63 calories; a 170-gram serving of traditional yogurt has 107 calories.

Greek yogurt can also take the place of higher calorie foods, such as cheese, cream, and mayo, which can help with weight maintenance. You can also add high-fiber and nutritious foods, such as berries and nuts, to your yogurt.
