The sugars listed are natural milk sugars and are perfectly healthy. Just make sure the yogurt doesn't have sugar in the ingredients list. Kath Patricia,

If you have questions about it, I would just weigh the food, get the oz or grams, and then use a database like CalorieKing. I usually subtract 1/4 an oz for my cores and then log the apple accordingly. Kath Holly,

If there is no added sugar, the "sugar" on the nutritional information is from the natural occurring "sugar's" in the yogurt. I prefer have more natural occuring sugar. I occassionally use splenda. However, I try to avoid it in yogurt since I love yogurt and eat it daily. If you don't like the tang of plain yogurt, try adding a banana or some other fruit that you like. Or even add a little bit of splenda yourself, that way you can keep track of how much you have. Hope that helps; I'm sure Kath will have a better answer and tips. I've just recently become a big fan of plain yogurt! Also, Kath love the cranberry sauce recipe. Yum! Thanks for the idea. Patricia,

I was at the grocery store the other day and I wanted to buy some plain yogurt, I looked at the nutritional info and the plain yogurt has more sugar than the lowfat strawberry yogurt sweetened with splenda.... I'm confused! I hope your flight is on time! -- Patricia Hi Kath,

I love Panera, I'm so jealous :) Quick question for you... So I'm using my food scale today to weigh an apple... I peel and core all my apples and then weigh them (my food scale gives me all the info including calories and other nutritional information). I was wondering today, does the food scale already figure in the core of the apple into the nutrition facts? I had an apple today and it calculated it at 81 calories, but I didn't have the core on the scale, it was just the apple with no skin or core. Should my calories for an apple be lower since I leave the core out? There is an option on my scale nutrition guide to choose an apple raw, with no skin, but there isn't an option for no core. I just want to make sure I'm calculating everything correctly. Thanks!!! Hi Kath!

When I'm out, if I've had veggies, grains, a protein, and/or I fruit, I know to stop. But if I'm missing a group, it's hard to stop because I feel unsatisfied. Rachel, I was really surprised by the low GI of raisins too. Dried apricots were also really low. GI is a lot more than just the sugar content of the foods, so it's actually really hard to predict if something is high or low. I guess you just have to study the charts to become familiar with the foods......... 10 minutes later.....I just did some web searches and most of the sites are coming up with 64 for 1/4 a cup raisins. Hmmmm. Perhaps the book has a typo?? Very strange. Now I'm not sure what they are. But they are still considered a "low-GI" food.
