Whole-milk Greek yogurt (non-fruit flavor) calories: 156 per 5.3-ounce container (150 g)

This exact USDA record reports 156 calories for a 5.3-ounce container (150 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 156 calories for a 5.3-ounce container at 150 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 104 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 11.7 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 47 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is yogurt, greek, plain, whole milk, representing 89% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.

The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists a 5.3-ounce container at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.

The household measures attached to this record span roughly 156–255 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.

Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.

Record-specific decision brief

What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you

This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2705438: “Yogurt, Greek, whole milk, flavors other than fruit.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.

01 · Portion arithmetic

Three weights, one fixed composition

For FDC 2705438, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 5.3 oz container” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

02 · Fixed-weight context

Where 100 grams sits inside Yogurt, Greek

The comparison set contains 10 exact records in the Yogurt, Greek USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2705438’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2705438’s 150 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Calcium; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.

Strength-side signals

Calcium149 mg

≈ 11% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Vitamin D1.4 µg

≈ 7% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Tradeoff-side signals

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Yogurt, Greek, whole milk, flavors other than fruit,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705440 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 5.3 oz container to 1 cup

    USDA assigns those measures 150 g and 245 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 156 kcal to 255 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2705440

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 3.6 g more total fat than “Yogurt, Greek, nonfat milk, flavors other than fruit.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Yogurt, Greek, plain, whole milk

    The source formulation has 4 input rows; Yogurt, Greek, plain, whole milk supplies 89% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

05 · Exact-record choice

Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name

Keep this record when “Greek; whole milk; flavors other than fruit” fits. Inspect FDC 2705440 when “Greek; nonfat milk; flavors other than fruit” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2705438, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Yogurt, Greek” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 31 more calories, 1.4 g less protein, and 3.6 g more total fat than “Yogurt, Greek, nonfat milk, flavors other than fruit.”

Only this record lists Yogurt, Greek, plain, whole milk. Only the comparison record lists Yogurt, Greek, plain, nonfat. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

3 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.

Formulation evidence

The listed formulations differ

The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.

Shared listed inputs: Sugars, granulated; Beverages, water, tap, drinking; Vitamin D as ingredient.

Listed only in this record: Yogurt, Greek, plain, whole milk.

Listed only in the comparison: Yogurt, Greek, plain, nonfat.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets match

This record’s reference amount is 150 g; a familiar listed measure is a 5.3-ounce container (150 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 150 g; a familiar listed measure is a 5.3-ounce container (150 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2705438 with FDC 2705440 at equal mass; use their 150 g and 150 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2705438 versus FDC 2705440 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable

What can change this estimate?

This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with portion size, fat level, brand or formulation, added flavors or sweeteners.

For “Yogurt, Greek, whole milk, flavors other than fruit,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 01

    portion size

    When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.

  2. 02

    fat level

    Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.

  3. 03

    brand or formulation

    Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.

  4. 04

    added flavors or sweeteners

    Use a label or known recipe when available, because sweetness does not reveal dose. Keep syrups, sugars, and concentrated add-ins separate when the base record does not name them.

How we estimated this

The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point

FDC 2705438 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 104 kcal per 100 g becomes 156 kcal at 150 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.

About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” The separately listed 5.3-ounce container has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.

Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024

FoodData Central ID: 2705438

FNDDS food code: 11435010

The scaling for FDC 2705438 can be exact while the match to “Yogurt, Greek, whole milk, flavors other than fruit” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 150 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
