    I would only track the cream and sugar to be honest.

    I don't know what brands you're using, so I went with what I would drink.

    Black tea = 0 calories
    Whole milk = 313 calories for 500 mL
    Sugar = 90 calories for 12 grams

    About 413 calories for the milk with tea and sugar.

    As others said, log the milk and sugar separately or create a recipe if you always use the same brands and amounts.

    You really put two whole cups of milk in your tea?

    I don't have anything to add other than that is a whole lot of milk. How big is your cup of tea?

    500ml of milk in a cup of tea!? Wow.

    Personally my milk is about quarter of a cup in tea and coffee and I make it pretty milky (milk isn't the main liquid). And 1 teaspoon of sugar.

    OP, you need to measure your milk and weigh your sugar to know, everyone takes their tea differently which is why there is no definitive answer.

    Agreed. I thought two of those little half and half single cups (the single serving guys) was pretty rich/milky.

    Ah....so you have 500ml of tea and whole milk combined? That makes MUCH more sense. I read it like others, and thought you have some amount of tea, and were adding 500ml of whole milk!

    As others mentioned, track is separately. If you are doing 10% milk/90% tea, that would be 50ml of whole milk, that would be 31 calories from milk.

    Add in the 90 cals from sugar, and you are at 121 cals.

    Ah, so the entire portion is 500 ml?
    Measure how much milk you're adding the 500 ml mug, then measure how much tea you add. Track the milk you measured as a single entry, and track the rest as black tea (most brands are like 0-4 calories for plain black tea). And track the sugar too, of course.

    If it's the same every time you make it, you can create your own recipe where it pulls these individual ingredients together.

    But you don't fill the whole cup with milk, at least some of it will be tea. You have to log the amount of milk you are using, not the volume of the container you put it into.

    I boil 600ml milk and then i add black tea and sugar to it.
    finally i have 480 to 500 ml of black tea with whole milk and sugar.

    I have 500ml of milk in my tea too, but I average around 8 cups of tea and that milk is spread throughout those cups.
    I log the actual tea as 0 calories, and separately log the milk. I don't add sugar, if i did that would be logged separately too.

    That actually sounds really good and I never add anything to mine. I don't have the calories to try even half a cup today though after a luscious breakfast so I'll drink my plain mango black tea while I envy yours.

    Is there a reason why you can't just look up the calorie count of the components of your tea in the MFP database? It even adds them for you!!!
