How this fits a day of eating
A 170g pot of plain whole-milk Greek yogurt is about 165 calories, just over 8% of a 2,000 calorie day, with 15g of protein and 8.5g of fat. It is creamier and richer than the fat-free version at about 59 calories per 100g, so the fat level on the tub says more about calories than the word Greek.
If you want Greek yogurt's protein for fewer calories, the fat-free version has its own page: about 59 calories and 10g of protein per 100g. The whole-milk version costs roughly 38 extra calories per 100g for its creamier texture.
Common questions
How many calories are in whole-milk Greek yogurt?

Is whole-milk or fat-free Greek yogurt better for weight loss?
Fat-free Greek yogurt has fewer calories, about 59 per 100g against 97 for whole milk, and slightly more protein. The whole-milk version is creamier, and some people find it more satisfying, which can help them eat less later. If calories are tight, choose fat-free; otherwise pick the one you will eat in a measured portion.
How much fat is in whole-milk Greek yogurt?
Plain whole-milk Greek yogurt contains about 5g of fat per 100g, roughly 2.4g of it saturated. Straining removes liquid whey, which concentrates both protein and fat compared with regular whole-milk yogurt. A 170g pot provides about 8.5g of fat, which is worth counting if you also add nuts or granola on top.
