    Can I ask what you base that on?

    Honey is mostly fructose, glucose and maltose plus some other sugars and water.

    I bet the carbs in your yoghurt are all sugars too making that one sugary treat.

    It's 9 grams of sugar. I didn't figure it was too bad since I pick up 14g of protein with it. Its pretty much the only dairy I do (sometimes I cheat and have some cheese). I generally have the yogurt about 3 times a week.

    It's the sugar my comment was about not the dairy. If you're ok with the sugar content then that's ok.

    Health effects of honey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Of course you do not want to eat a ton of it. I have read before that you can survive for quite some tim off of just honey and water.

    I have seen a lot of people promoting Crystal Lite as a go to sweetener for their water.

    Citric Acid: an organic acid that comes from citrus fruits. It acts as a natural preservative and is also used to make foods and beverages taste sour.

    Potassium Citrate & Sodium Citrate: mineral salts used as flavor enhancers. Potassium citrate is found naturally in many foods such as bananas, citrus fruits, melons, tomatoes, apricots, some fish, green leafy vegetables, whole-grains, and legumes.

    Aspartame: Non-nutritive sweetener or sugar substitute, found in a multitude of sugar-free foods. Although aspartame was once controversial, its safety has been affirmed by the FDA 26 times in the past 23 years.

    Magnesium Oxide: Anti-caking agent. Some foods tend to coagulate (clump together), and anti-caking agents prevent this.

    Natural Flavor: According to the Code of Federal Regulations, "The term natural flavor or natural flavoring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional." Both artificial and natural flavors are made by "flavorists" in a laboratory by combining either "natural" chemicals or "synthetic" chemicals to make flavorings.

    Lemon Juice Solids: solids extracted from lemons and then turned into a powder.

    Acesulfame Potassium: Non-nutritive sweetener.

    Soy Lecithin: An emulsifier (keeps ingredients from separating).

    Artificial Color: Coloring not found in nature--it's produced in a lab.

    Yellow 5: Synthetically produced (man-made) coloring agent used to make foods more visually appealing (offsets color loss from exposure to light, air, temperature extremes, or moisture, or enhance naturally-occurring colors, or provide color to "colorless" foods).
    BHA (Butylated hydroxyanisole): An antioxidant that acts as a preservative (preserving odor, color, and flavor).

    ES NO BUENO
