Question by NoShiningStar.JustAGirlWithAScar: Why are there more calories in 7 oz of fat free yogurt than a bar of chocolate?
this is driving me insane!!
it's fat free or almost fat free (.2%) and it has 110 calories in 7 oz (200 grams) and a bar of Bounty has 130 calories.
lol, I know this is a little stupid, but does anyone else think it's insane?!

& I also know there are more calories in chocolate but like it's almost the same!

You have to look at where the calories are coming from. In the chocolate bar, they are most likely coming from fat. 1 gram of fat equals 9 calories. In the fat free yogurt, the calories are most likely coming from carbs/protein. Both of those have only 4 calories per gram. So, with the yogurt you are getting more substance. Not to mention some fiber and calcium. However, I would consider a better nonfat yogurt that also is sweetened with sucralose (splenda). And then you'll only have about 60 calories per container.

    They’re two completely different foods. It’s like asking why there are 4 calories in a grape and only 1 in a cherry tomato.

    I’d still opt for the yogurt. Protein beats sugar any day.
