Paging all yogurt makers...

How do you work out the nutrition calculations for your homemade yogurt?

I could just dump in amounts and ingredients into MFP and come up with nutrition per ounce, but I strain it! The whey has some nutritional values to subtract that way.

What do y'all do to enter accurate info on your yogurt recipe?

I tend to use the calculations on a Fage yogurt.  I use 2% so I use 2%Fage as a comparable since I strain it to the same consistency.  This is a great post explaining how they come up with the nutritional info and down in the comments was this : 

 

"A little late to this discussion but it might be useful. Whey as the byproduct of cheese or yogurt making is 60 to 70% carbohydrates, mostly lactose. Whey PROTEIN on the other hand is whey that has been processed to remove carbs and lipids. Whey protein ISOLATE is over 90% protein. So why is greek yogurt higher in protein compared to regular yogurt? Because by volume you are eating more lacto-proteins and less carbs (drained whey) in every spoonful."

I tried all kinds of methods, including weighing the yogurt befoe and after weight. Finally, I just use a national brand and match the milk fat percentage. Not perfect, but close enough I guess.
