What affects the calorie value
This page uses whole cow milk with 3.25% milk fat and no added vitamins A or D. Lower-fat milk, plant drinks and condensed milk need different records.
For a drink or porridge, milk can be weighed directly in the container. Grams and millilitres are close for everyday tracking, but this reference uses mass, so scales are more precise than a measuring cup.
Vitamins and minerals per 100 g
Values come from the same USDA records. They show the amount in the food, not a percentage of an individual daily requirement.
| Nutrient | Whole milk, 3.25% milkfat |
|---|---|
| Calcium, mg | 113 |
| Phosphorus, mg | 84 |
| Potassium, mg | 132 |
| Vitamin B12, µg | 0.45 |
| Vitamin B2, mg | 0.17 |
| Vitamin A, RAE, µg | 46 |
How to calculate more accurately
Enter weight in grams. Do not automatically equate 200 ml with 200 g: volume and mass are different measurements.
For 1.5%, 2.5% or 3.2% milk, use your product label. This record is 3.25% milkfat without added vitamins A and D.
For coffee with milk, count the weight of milk added and enter sugar or syrup separately.
Common questions
Can a glass be counted as 200 g?
Only if it actually contains 200 g of milk. Glass sizes and fill levels vary; weighing is more precise.
How many calories are in a cup of milk?
A reference cup containing 244 g of 3.25% whole milk provides about 149 kcal. Your household glass may have a different volume.
Can 100 ml of milk be counted as 100 g?
The difference is small for an everyday estimate, but they are not exactly equal. For precision, use a scale and the package label.
Can I use these values for 1.5% or 2.5% milk?
No. Fat percentage affects calories and fat, so select the matching product in the calculator or use the package label.
