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
