Hi. I am brand new to this site, and my latest attempt at losing some weight. I am at my heaviest now at roughly 180lbs.

I have heard some conflicting reports about whether greek yogurt is better for you than sour cream. I have heard its higher in protein. Or that if you ate only greek yogurt it would essentially be a whole meal. I usually buy the fat free sour cream (much to my husbands distaste), but have tried substituting greek yogurt, just to see if the taste is really that similar. (i think it is with things like perogies, and tacos)

I am just starting to track my food intake, and I don't really know if I'm lacking protein or not.
I am having a hard time knowing what to eat and what not to. I have been successful in the past by just working out, and switching to whole wheat grains over white. But I would like to be over all healthier. Any info on the greek yogurt vs. sour cream debate would be helpful!

Thanks

Hi

Yogurt has calcium, vitamin D, protein, vitamin B12, riboflavin, pro-biotics and has much less calories over sour cream. Tastes and nutrition facts of Greek yogurt varies depending upon the brand. Some tastes more sour cream and others tastes like creamy yogurt. I would definitely go for Greek yogurt.
