How to log accurate nutrition data from my food choices?

Hello I have some trouble to log accurate data for my food choice intake.
For example, my breakfast is 300ml semi-skimmed milk mixed with 2 level scoops of protein powder which it is 37.5g. When I have scanned my powder app says 229 cal not sure if that includes milk or not. My semi-skimmed milk calories is 147 cal for 300ml. If the scanned calories for the protein include milk that calories will be with skimmed milk as the instruction suggest to be used but I prefer to use semi-skimmed milk.
Could somebody tell me how I could log more accurate data regarding the nutritions?

    We are sorry if you have found an item in our database that has discrepancies. A majority of foods are created by other users, so that does leave some room for error. If you do have a label with different information, please go by the label and not what results on our end.

    5. Update the incorrect information and tap check mark
    * If you'd like to save the corrected version, toggle Save to My Foods on
