TweetYes, there are some nutritional benefits to yogurt, but keep in mind it is NOT a diet food like the yogurt companies want you to think. Yogurt is a dairy and it contains lactose which is sugar. If you are dieting you need to eliminate as much sugary carbs from you diet as possible to loose weight. The protein in dairy is a incomplete protein. Beef, fish, turkey, pork and eggs are complete proteins which is better for muscle growth.
