I get fruit yogurt with no added sugar -- some artificial sweetener.

Or, you can make it yourself with some plain yogurt and, say, some
strawberries, or raspberries, etc. etc.

I like it because I don't drink much milk, and it is a way to get some
calcium and protein along with the fruit.

Way too high in carbs.

A 125gm (very small) tub of diet or light yogurt with fruit may not have
*added* sugar but according to label on my wife's yogurt it still
contains 24gm's of carbohydrate and only 6 gms protein. This is
supported by FitDay software. Too many carbs and not enough protein.

A ham & egg omelette with shallots and low fat cheese only contains 3.5
carbs and 24 grams of protein (if made with fully lean smoked ham).

The yogurt is for a low fat diet, not a low carb diet.

I know which I prefer.

I don't know what kind of yogurt you're getting, but the two kinds of
artificially sweetened fruit flavoured yogurt available here have 6 and
8 g of carbs per 125 g serving. Maybe yours is sweetened with sugar? The
amount of carbs you give is about what's available in the
sugar-sweetened products.

Danone Silhouette - 8 g - sweetened with aspartame
Yoplait Source - 6 g - sweetened with Splenda
