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:
| Method | Typical kcal / 100g | Why it moves |
|---|---|---|
| Plain cooked | ~34 | Matches the page numbers |
| Cooked with oil or butter | ~39–48 | Fat mixed through or on top |
| Fried / restaurant style | ~46–61 | Wok oil, deep-fry, or heavy glaze |
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.
