Help with frozen yogurt
 

Since I started counting calories, I have been extremely careful to only get things with labels or with online calorie information unless very basic (like an egg, an apple, et cetera) so that I do not have to worry about guessing or estimating. Today, I could not resist having some "low-fat" frozen yogurt from a local store and I am confused on how to count it. The dish it was served in holds about 10 fl. oz, but it seems like the frozen yogurt counts I can find online are for ounces in weight. I did not realize it would be so hard to figure out or I probably would have passed. I would overestimate, but I seem to have a very small window of calories between gaining and losing. Any ideas? Thanks!

Well . . . when you buy frozen yogurt in the grocery store, the nutrition panel usually gives the amount that pertains to 1/2 cup which is liquid measure.

The 3FC calorie listing gives this information for a one cup serving . . .

http://www.3fatchicks.com/food-calor...food/42187/0/0 . . . and it sounds like you had about 1.25 cups (10 oz.) so I'd say that 275 calories would get you close enough.

Hope that helps.

If the place where you got the yogurt is a chain or they have a website, check their website to see if they have the nutritional data posted. Or email them to ask for it (or ask the next time you are there).

Thanks, meowee! I did not realize that frozen yogurt was so decent in calories-I had assumed it was around 600! BluetoBlue, thanks for the tip. They do not have the info posted on their site, but I e-mailed them to see if maybe they have it to send for next time.

I'd say don't sweat it.
Just don't make it a habit :)

Thanks, ddc. I guess sometimes that really is the best option. Luckily for me, they only have that flavor maybe once every two-three months, and I rarely am in that section of town. Do not think anyone else sells teaberry frozen yogurt and not sure if any brand companies make it. I guess I am lucky in a way! Mmm so good though heh.
