Is sainsbury low fat yogurt class at low carb?

I marinated my chicken in it and then had a bit of plain yogurt to dip it in once cooked

Iv been googling but getting conflicting answers
 
Well the Sainsburys website has the carbs recorded as 7g of carbs per 100g.. personally I wouldn't use it but why not test before and 2 hours after eating and see if it has an effect on your blood sugars?
 
I didn't check my blood sugars but just trying to stick to a low carb diet.

I will be double cautious now
 
If you are are eating a low carb diet, then you shouldn't really be bothering with low fat products - it's called LCHF (low carb high[er] fat) for a good reason - fats and oils replace the carbs for your energy resources. So just stick with full fat yoghurts.

Lower fat yogurt is normally higher carb than full fat yogurt.
 
It's interesting to see the answers.

How many grams of carbs are in the high fat alternatives being advised?

3.2g in the Lidl yogurt. Sainsburys creme fresh has 2g. Tried it with 4 blackberries for breakfast. Sometimes I just go giddy with excitement.
 
So not much difference then. The Sainsbury's low fat must have no added sugar, just the difference from the lactose in the milk then?

So unless the op particularly is looking for extra fat, no real issue. I'd prefer more chicken for my meal myself to be honest, but I do avoid saturated fats if I can, to be fair.
