Decision rule
Pick eggs when you want whole-food protein with fat and almost no carbs. Pick nonfat Greek yogurt when you want high protein with fewer calories and a dairy base.
Pick Eggs (large) when
Savory breakfasts and cooking fat you already budgeted in the yolks.
Pick Greek yogurt (plain, nonfat) when
High-protein snacks or sweet breakfast bowls with fruit.
Caveats
- Egg count vs yogurt grams — compare equal protein targets, not “one serving” folklore.
Food notes
🥚 Eggs (large)
78 kcal per egg. Yolks have most of the micronutrients (choline, vitamin D). Whites are protein-only. Perfect protein quality score.
🥣 Greek yogurt (plain, nonfat)
20g+ protein per cup. Buy plain — flavored varieties add 10–20g sugar. Top with fruit yourself.
