Reducing sugar cuts weight by 0.80 kg (Te Morenga et al., BMJ 2013). Per 100 g: 78 kcal, 9.6 g sugar, 3 g protein. Flavored milk carries more sugar than plain — track the difference.
How should I track Milk, chocolate, fluid, commercial, reduced fat, with added calcium?
Milk, chocolate, fluid, commercial, reduced fat, with added calcium is a good source of calcium. The best way to track Milk, chocolate, fluid, commercial, reduced fat, with added calcium is by weight, not volume. A 200 g serving of yogurt or cheese varies in density between brands and fat levels, so the same portion can differ by 20–40 calories. Research shows people underestimate calorie-dense dairy portions by up to 50% when eyeballing (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013). A kitchen scale keeps things honest. Also check whether the label lists values for the product as sold or as prepared — some powdered or concentrated dairy products show very different numbers once mixed.
