Fage brand Greek yogurt does come in versions made from 0% fat and 2% fat milk, as well as whole milk. Trader Joe's has a house brand Greek yogurt also comes in a 0% fat version. I have seen both at Trader Joe's grocery stores.

If you are trying to consume dairy products for calcium, note that some other foods contain calcium, such as some green vegetables, tofu made with calcium sulfate, fortified foods, and canned fish with edible bones. In addition, vitamin D is needed to ensure that the calcium is absorbed and used; good sources include skin exposure to sunlight (but avoid sunburn), fish, egg yolks, and fortified foods. If the concern is osteoporosis, do weight bearing exercise (e.g. weight lifting and running tend to fight osteoporosis better than swimming).
