And don't be worried about the carb content of the FF/SF stuff... Firstly, if it fits into your daily requirements it is not going to do you any harm and secondly there is actually evidence to suggest that the sugar content of yoghurt (esp those with LOTS of added cultures) have far less sugar than is on the label. This is because the bacteria utilise the lactose as an energy source - which reduces the carb count considerably.
I'll see if I can dig up the info on it (I am sure I have it lying around somewhere).
I specifically like to use yoghurt around workouts - it is insulinogenic (it promotes insulin secretion) and is a great source of carbs (lactose - which breaks into glucose for your muscles and galactose for your liver - which helps restore total body glycogen after a workout) as well as a great source of protein and calcium. All of which are great around workouts.
Also - low fat dairy is also linked to LOWER BF%/leaner body compositions, and weight loss as well.
Atkin's Carb countdown is an excellent choice w/only 3-4 carbs per serving and 12 grams of protein. Not to mention 0 grams of sugar! The milk is awesome too!
