"Fifty-calorie snacks can be hard to come by," said Lisa Lillien, author of Hungry Girl: 200 Under 200 and the hungry-girl.com daily newsletter. "Choosing a snack like Yoplait's new 50-calorie Fiber One yogurt can help curb your midday craving without the guilt."
Most Americans fall far short of getting at least 25 grams of fiber a day as recommended by the Institute of Medicine(1). Each cup of 50-calorie Fiber One yogurt provides an excellent source or 20 percent of the recommended Daily Value of fiber (5 grams); 0 grams of fat; and is a good source of calcium as well as vitamins A and D.
"Yoplait Fiber One yogurt is the only leading national brand of nonfat yogurt with only 50 calories and 5 grams of fiber," said Dawn Edgerton, associate marketing manager for Fiber One yogurt. "Those watching their weight now have a zero guilt snack option that doesn't sacrifice on taste and gives them a creamy, sweet treat."
Fiber One 50-calorie yogurt will feature a 'Hungry Girl Seal of Approval', the first nationally distributed yogurt to receive this endorsement. Hungry Girl is an expert on lower calorie snack options and recommends guilt-free foods on her Web site and in her daily newsletter.
Fiber One yogurt is available nationwide in four-packs of 4-oz. cups at a suggested retail price of $2.79.
