Greek yogurt has more protein and less sugar and sodium than the same amount of regular yogurt, says registered dietitian and Flexitarian diet creator Dawn Jackson Blatner. Made in the same way as regular yogurt but strained to yield a thicker, creamier consistency, Greek yogurt is a good source of calcium and, according to a 2011 study published in "The New England Journal of Medicine," may help you lose weight and keep it off if you eat it regularly.

Serving Size

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's ChooseMyPlate.gov, a serving of any type of yogurt, including Greek yogurt, is 1 cup, or 8 fluid ounces. This amount of yogurt is equivalent to 1 cup of milk, 2 cups of cottage cheese, 1 1/2 ounces of hard cheese such as cheddar or mozzarella, 1 cup of frozen yogurt, 1 1/2 cups of ice cream or 1 cup of soy milk that's been fortified with calcium.

Recommended Intake

Healthy adult men and women should have 3 cups of dairy products daily, says the USDA. Children between nine and 13 years old also need 3 cups of dairy products each day. Eating a 1-cup serving of Greek yogurt can fulfill over 30 percent of this requirement. The calcium, vitamin D and potassium in dairy products like yogurt can help strengthen your bones and lower your risk of Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and osteoporosis.

Low-Fat Choices

U.S. News & World Report says that Greek yogurt is a good addition to a healthy, balanced diet, but only if you choose low- or non-fat brands over full-fat yogurt. A serving of full-fat Greek yogurt can contain as much as 10 grams of fat, 25 milligrams of cholesterol and 7 grams of saturated fat. For an adult, that's about 35 percent of the recommended daily allowance of saturated fat. By contrast, non-fat Greek yogurt has no fat and only trace amounts of cholesterol. If non-fat yogurt isn't to your taste, typical brands of low-fat Greek yogurt still have only 4 grams of fat, 10 milligrams of cholesterol and 3 grams of saturated fat.

Serving Suggestions

It's easy to incorporate a serving of Greek yogurt into your diet every day. Have yogurt topped with chopped fresh fruit and nuts for breakfast, or include it in a smoothie with low- or non-fat milk, whey protein, fruit and juice for a quick, high-protein snack. In most recipes -- dips, sauces, baked goods, pasta dishes, salad dressings and casseroles, for example -- you can use a 1-cup serving of Greek yogurt as a substitute for an equal amount of sour cream, mayonnaise or cream cheese.
