Quick answer
Plain Greek yoghurt often delivers more protein per calorie than sweetened styles. A 150–170g serving of plain might commonly land around 100–180 calories depending on fat level—verify your tub.
Flavored vs Plain
Fruit-on-the-bottom or dessert-style yoghurts can include added sugars. Read labels when you buy—then log the brand you actually opened.
Breakfast Pairings
Pair with oats or granola—see high protein breakfast ideas—and remember granola adds energy fast.
