is the 0% greek yogurt total ok sugar per 100g is 5g

The 0% fat is fine, but they also do a full fat version which is great too. I use it for breakfast, for snacks, and use it where other people use mayonnaise. It's versatile and great.
If you prefer it a bit sweeter, throw some berries in it, or throw a bit of sweetener in it. (I find that the packaged sweeteners from places like Costa coffee are excellent for keeping in bag for when I fancy a small pot of sweeter yoghurt).

I have the Lidl creamy Greek full fat, 3.2 in a 100 and it is gorgeous. £1.58 for a huge 1 kg tub. X

I do low fat so I have low or nil fat greek or plain yogurt and have it with berries but I have to check the labels to see what the sugar content is as others here say some low fat can have more sugar than full fat. I often get it in the asian or eastern european shops and can usually find a low sugar one and more variety there than the supermarkets

Added sugar to low fat yoghurt is mainly a thing of the past now.
Most low fat are near enough the same in sugar as high fat, but there are exceptions, so always read the label, as you've unfortunately found one there.
I make my own, from skimmed milk or alpro, and I know it's low fat and low sugar. Cost me under a tenner for the machine.

Alpro also do a good low fat low sugar soya yoghurt.

Most branded yogurts are loaded with sugar and some starch. If you want a ready-to-use fruit yogurt you could try Irish Yogurts Diet yogurt which has no added sugar just sweeteners and the natural sugar from the fruit. I only have one a day and wouldn't go beyond that

I like the Activa yogurts - the lemon and vanilla flavours are all under 10g carbs per pot. I also the the soya alpro yogurts which are again below 10g carbs per pot. I have to be honest I don't look at the sugar content just the total carbohydrate content.
