Is frozen yogurt healthier than ice cream?

[Anonymous]

since you know, it's yogurt... But do they add tons of sugar in the yogurt, not to mention the toppings?

Since the difference in the ingredients of ice cream and frozen yogurt is cream, the main nutritional difference is the fat content. One cup of regular vanilla ice cream contains 275 calories, 5 grams of protein, 31 grams of carbohydrates, 15 grams of fat and 9 grams of saturated fat. One cup of regular vanilla frozen yogurt contains 221 calories, 5 grams of protein, 38 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of fat and 4 grams of saturated fat.

so small difference in calories, froyo has less fat but more sugar... I don't know if that's better... I guess not..

In theory yes, but you need to check the nutrition facts on the product, they will all differ and can contain far more sugars and sodium.

Yogurt - yes cause it's probiotic

I eat frozen yogurt that has no added sugar - guess you should look for those :) ahem ofcourse I don't use toppings lol

I think it is but I haven't done the research to back it up hahaha. I mean when it think about it yogurtland must be a healthier option than basket robins.

It has less fat than ice cream, but more sugar so I'd say it's unhealthier actually.

i don't see how the toppings make it less healthy if you're getting fruit and nuts.
