Today's Fitness Quickie from Mike G. at www.TruthAboutAbs.com
========================================================
I just found an AWESOME yogurt recently (that is the creamiest yogurt I've found to date...absolutely delicious!), and it is the highest protein yogurt I've ever seen.
I always read labels at the grocery store and I've never even seen any yogurt come close to this in protein content. In fact, this yogurt that I found had 3X the normal protein content in comparable serving sizes of other brands and types.
This high protein creamy yogurt I found at the grocery store is called Fage greek yogurt... Fage is the brand of greek yogurts I found that had the highest protein content of them all that I compared.
There was 3 versions of this Fage greek yogurt - skim, 2%, and full-fat.
I ended up choosing the 2% version, which goes slightly against what I always preach about just choosing the full-fat versions of everything... but the 2% had the best ratios of protein and fat, without having too much milkfat.
If I remember correctly...
The skim version was about 20 gms of protein and 0 gms of fat
The 2% version was about 19 gms of protein and 4 gms of fat
The whole version was about 13 gms of protein and 15 gms of fat
The skim version wouldn't have a great taste because of the lack of fat, and the whole version was pretty calorie dense, and I found that the 2% version had the best ratio of protein with still enough fat for a great creamy taste.
Mix this greek yogurt with some sliced strawberries or raspberries and some almonds or pecans (and maybe a sprinkle of hempseeds or chia seeds), a little stevia, and a little vanilla extract, and you have one delicious mid-day healthy meal, or high protein dessert to have at night!
Mmm, mmm good!
I know not everybody is going to have access to this specific brand that I found, but search the greek yogurt section at your market and see which types you find that have the highest protein and the best taste.

Also, I just got notice earlier today from the creators, Joel and Arnel, that they have added an awesome bonus...
In addition to the entry level 300, 450, 600, and 800 calorie workouts provided in the 1,000 Calorie Challenge, Joel & Arnel are now including a full blown video exercise database that walks you through each exercise and coaches you every step of the way on how to modify the exercises for your fitness level.
AND, in addition to the modified exercise database, they're going to include resistance band versions of all the workouts, too!
