Skim (non-fat) cow milk — fat-removed, lowest-calorie milk.

~85 kcal/cup. Same protein as whole milk. Best for cuts and shakes.

Best for

  • training days and glycogen refill — 5g carbs / 100g
  • budget meals where cheap energy density matters

Watch out

  • portion creep — cooked volume looks bigger than the grams you meant
  • sauces and oils that turn a carb staple into a hidden calorie sink
  • full-fat vs low-fat SKUs — pick the line that matches the carton

How to log it

Weigh cooked milk (skim) if that is the state in the DB serving. 1 cup (8 oz) (~240g) is the practical unit in the app.

Where it fits the day

Best next to a protein source. Alone it is fuel, not a complete macro plan.

Cooked, grilled, fried & breaded

Plain milk (skim) is the baseline above. Oil, frying, and restaurant prep usually raise the estimate — typical kcal per 100g:

These are typical ranges, not lab measurements. Restaurant recipes, oils, and sauces vary — treat them as logging estimates and edit if your plate looks heavier.
