worst case - you go by the NF milk. at most the calories (fat, pro & cho) that you started with in the milk + the starter from the Fage all remain in what you have as yogurt.

Did some sugars get fermented by the critters? Yes. But you don't know how much. Did some probably get poured off with the whey? Yes. Again, you don't know how much. If you are optimistic, use the numbers for yogurt. If you are pessimistic, use the numbers for the milk (allowing for the change in volume - e.g. if you used 4C milk, use 1C milk numbers for 1/4 of your yogurt volume).
