What brand of yogurt
I like Dannon Light n' Fit which is made w/ nutrasweet and only has 60 calories. Yoplait Light (the blue top) is also made w/ nutrasweet and has 100 calories. Stay away from the brands with added sugar. Some of the yogurts can have up to 43gm of sugar added to them. Yikes!

Fage
It is Greek Style Yogurt. Thick and very creamy. Lots of protein. A 5 oz container of the Total 2% has 130 calories, 4 gm of fat, 8 gm of sugar and 17 gm of protein.
It is not the easiest stuff to find, but it is worth the hunt. Trader Joe's, Meijer stores, Publix stores all carry it.
I sprinkle some Splenda in it, and sugar free pudding mix in as well, any flavor that interests ya. It is heaven in a cup. Rich and creamy. Yummo!!

p.s. you can go to www.fageusa.com and see if there is a store that carries it close to you.
I second the recommendation on the Fage - it's fabulous. If you can't find that brand in your area, look for a traditional Greek style yogurt. It's also a great substitute for sour cream. I also like it sweetened with a packet of splenda and a bit of sugar-free preserves stirred in for extra flavor. If berries are in season, I'll add them too (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries - whatever I can find). May be too soon for you to have fresh berries, but keep them in mind for the future - it's delicious with this type of yogurt.
When I'm not in the mood for Fage, I eat Breyer's light yogurt - like the flavor, texture and available flavors.
Good luck on your continuing journey -
