yogurt

i went to the grocery store before work b/c i needed a yogurt to add to my jc menu today. the last two weeks i bought these yoplait lights, they taste good and they're fat free and usually get them for like 60 cents. the little shop i went to was new, they only had one brand of yogurt: Alta Dena. holy smokes, the calories! one little cup was 240 calories, whereas my usual yoplait is only 100 calories. this is a great learning experience, though. it's important to see how many calories are in the food we eat; it's not obsessive, it's educated. i think back about how i really didnt eat a LOT of food, but im still so overweight. i wasnt making smart food choices. i bet a lot of that is WHAT i ate rather than how much. well, no, ok the "how much" factors in there too, but you know what im saying. i want to switch to soy yogurt, though. im pretty sure the price is comparable. there's a lot of dairy in the jc program, i talked to the counselor about using soy instead. i use soy milk instead of non fat milk. i'll switch this yogurt. i dont know if there's anything i can do about the cheese, tho. vegan cheese just don't melt, it's too weird.

========================================

update: i went shopping today and the soy is way too expensive. something like $1.39 per when it's not on sale. also had more calories; 170 or so vs yopliat 100 calories. The yoplait was on sale 10 for $4.55 and oh how i wish now that'd i'd just got the yoplait! instead i bought this dannon light&fit, all excited b/c it's only 60 calories but this stuff tastes like chalk.and i bought like 10 of them!
