Why Yogurt (plain, whole milk) shows up in protein-forward diets
Roughly half the protein density of Greek yogurt made from the same milk, since it hasn't been strained of its whey.
Serving-size math
A 3/4 cup (170g) portion delivers 9.7g of protein and roughly 104 calories. Scaled per 100 calories, that works out to 9.34g of protein — useful for comparing against other foods on a calorie-matched basis rather than a weight-matched one.
Prep tip
Strain it yourself through cheesecloth for an hour if you want Greek-style protein density without paying the Greek-style price.
