Among the 81 dairy foods in the database, greek yogurt (with fruit) ranks 14th by protein per serving, and 273rd out of all 796 foods on the site. Set against ricotta (part-skim), another dairy food entry in the database, a serving carries about 0.8 g less protein (ricotta (part-skim) has 14.1 g per 1/2 cup).
It is a complete protein - it supplies all nine essential amino acids in adequate amounts, so it can carry a meal's protein on its own. The serving above is counted by piece at 170 g. Because pieces vary, the per-100 g figure is the one to use when comparing this against a food measured a different way.
