    It's probably the milk and sugar!

    A lot of people add sugar to their tea.

    If it has an asterisk next to it, it's user added and potentially inaccurate.

    Some brands of tea add some additional ingredients that could add up to a carb or two.

    I think we must be talking single digit calories, even coffee is about 5 cals a cup.

    Some MFP user likely entered their "recipe" with milk and/or sugar. This is why you have to be careful with some entries.
