Why Greek Yogurt (plain, nonfat) shows up in protein-forward diets
Straining regular yogurt to make 'Greek' style removes most of the whey liquid, which is why it ends up roughly double the protein density of standard yogurt from the same starting milk.
Serving-size math
A 3/4 cup (170g) portion delivers 17.3g of protein and roughly 100 calories. Scaled per 100 calories, that works out to 17.29g of protein — useful for comparing against other foods on a calorie-matched basis rather than a weight-matched one.
Prep tip
Buy plain, not flavored — flavored Greek yogurt cups routinely carry 2-3x the sugar of the plain version for the same protein.
