I have been using FAGE fat free greek yoghurt for the last few months, but I've noticed quite a few people saying that full fat is better... but is this just because the higher fat content will supposedly make you feel fuller? For someone who is trying to lose weight with a combination of low carbs and keeping half an eye on calories, I can eat twice as much fat free as I can full fat and I don't struggle with hunger at all with what I eat.
For example, the FAGE fat free per 100g is 54cal, 0g fat, 3g carbs, 10.3g protein with no sweeteners or obvious nasties added.
By comparison, Yeo Valley greek style is 129cal, 9.7g fat, 5.3g carbs and 5g protein
I completely agree with the idea of avoiding "low fat" stuff, because that often has added sugars. Tesco low fat greek style, for example, having 7.2g of carbs, over twice as many as the fat free one I eat.
