Plain low-fat yoghurt is a fermented milk product made using bacterial cultures. It provides protein and carbohydrate, along with calcium and other minerals. Per 100g, it contains 4.8g of protein, 7.8g of carbohydrate, 1g of fat and 162mg of calcium. The figures describe plain low-fat yoghurt rather than flavoured or sweetened varieties.
Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth. Yoghurt also provides iodine, which is needed for normal thyroid function. Plain yoghurt contains naturally occurring milk sugars, so its sugar content does not necessarily indicate added sugar. Sugar and fat contents can vary between products.
