    I believe that there is not necessarily a huge difference in actual
    # of calories. The main difference is in the fat content. Low-fat
    frozen yogurt has approx. 2g of fat per 4 oz. serving and about
    100 calories. Someone else will have to fill in the soft-serve
    ice-cream stats.
    
    As an aside - I have discovered that I LOVE frozen yogurt. And there
    are so many interesting flavors - who could resist White Chocolate
    Mousse? And everywhere you go (at least here in the Marlboro/Maynard
    MA area) there are places which offer frozen yogurt. My latest favorite
    is TCBY (The Country's Best Yogurt, formerly This Can't Be Yogurt).
    There's a new one in Concord, MA, near the depot...

    Hi,
    
    I have recently discovered a frozen yogurt that I just LOVE better
    than ice cream (and I never thought I'd see the day).  I beleive
    you can only purchase it at Shaw's but it's Kemp's Frozen Yogurt
    and per 3 oz serving there are 80 calories with 1 gm of fat.  Not
    bad!  Ice milk (soft serve) for the most part contains 5-6 gms of
    fat approximately 100-120 calories.  Ice cream (regular vanilla)
    14-15 gms of fat at 230-250 calories.  Ice cream 16% fat (rich vanilla)
    23-24 gms of fat at 320-350 calories.  Frozen Yogurt is definately
    the way to go.  My favorite Kemp's Frozen Yogurt flavor are Cherry
    and Rasberry.  They have Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry,
    Strawberry-Banana, Peach, and Blueberry flavors.  Mmmmmmmmmmm!
    
    I'm sure you'll enjoy it if you try it!

    There is an article in the New York Times, August 8 which discusses
    low-calorie frozen desserts such as yogurts and soft-serves.  There
    is a chart which gives the calorie content of the products of 16
    frozen dessert companies such as Baskin-Robbins, TCBY, Weight 
    Watchers, etc.
    
    Even within the description of low-calorie, it appears that the
    frozen yogurts are about 100 calories per average serving lower
    than other low-calorie frozen desserts.  There's quite a bit of
    discrepency among companies as to the ACTUAL calorie content. 
    A company did a dietary analysis of the different products.  TCBY
    was highly rated -- 25 calories/ounce with the average serving of
    6 ounces giving a total of between 139 to 178 calories.  There is
    NO fat in TCBY.
    
    Haagen-Dazs frozen yogurt had an average of 374 calories per serving.  
    Carvel yogurt came out with 386!  Dannon was 392!

    Re: .3  New York Times article is August 9 (Wednesday).

    	Were the serving sizes the same as with TCBY (6oz)?

    	I don't know but TCBY's frozen yogert is great!

I have heard such wonderful things about TCBY but I can't find it in
supermarkets.  Where can I get it in or around Waltham, MA or Nashua, NH?

Thanks,
D!

As far as I know, you can't buy TCBY in the supermarkets. It is a chain of 
stores. I know that there is one in Concord, MA. You can probably give them
a call to find out where others might be located. Their frozen yogurt sure 
is yummy... They do sell it packaged to go, so you can take it home just like
if you bought it in the supermarket.

Donelan's grocery store in Littleton, MA has recently installed a Columbo
frozen yogurt machine... They also have it packaged to go...

    There's a TCBY on Route 20 in Marlboro... near Wayside Inn road.

    A quick note, Sealtest now has a FAT FREE ice cream.  I've tried
    the Strawberry one.  It tastes GREAT!   100 cal per 1/2 cup.  NO
    FAT!  a dieter's dream come true.   Cost? $1.69/half gallon.

    There used to be a TCBY in West Newton near the West Newton cinema. I
    think it is on route 16. W. Newton is right next to Waltham.
    
    

    There is a TCBY shop in the Somerset shopping plaza on 101A in Nashua;
    immediately off Exit 8 on the Everett Turnpike (Route 3).
