This milk-based coffee has 42 kcal per 100 g, mostly from the milk. A 250 ml latte made with whole milk runs ~120–180 kcal; switching to skim or unsweetened plant milk halves it. The shot itself adds only 1–3 kcal.
How should I track Latte, whole milk?
Liquid calories from Latte, whole milk are easy to overlook because drinks do not trigger the same fullness signals as solid food. A meta-analysis (Wehling & Lusher, Am J Clin Nutr 2021) confirmed that people underreport beverage intake more than solid food. Most people pour 30–50% more than the label serving size without realizing it. Use a kitchen scale to weigh your glass or bottle once — you will know your exact pour going forward. This one calibration step can save you from hundreds of untracked calories per week.
