Does tea (with SS milk and sweetner) have cals

When I put it into my daily panner (PG Tips - with Semi Skimmed milk and a sweetner) it says zero cals' but I have heard other's on here saying that tea eats into their calorie allowance?

Am I correct that how I take my tea is 0 cals?

    Plain tea shouldn't have any calories. The milk and any added sugar would, though.

    the semi skimmed milk will have cals, try entering tea, and the milk by themselves. Looks like that was a users entry. It may only have like 10 cals depending on how much milk is used

    Skimmed milk and sweeter will have calories. Enter them in separately from the tea. Actually, the tea really doesn't NEED to be entered in unless it is a flavored tea, it has no calories.

    I'm having trouble finding just Semi Skimmed milk.

    But I'll check it out - damn - thought my 5 cups of tea per day were freebies!!

    What % milk is semi skimmed (2% is partly skimmed) is it skim milk or 1%?

    I drink so much tea that I have a "tea" meal in my diary. I just enter the amount of skim milk that I use over the course of a day.. its usually about half a cup
  • I drink about 8 cups of tea a day (bad, I know) with skimmed milk, no sugar or sweetners. That comes up on my tracker as 184 calories. I choose tea over food, I can't live without tea :)

    Psshh, I don't see how it's bad, I can easily drink 8 cups of tea a day. I'm lucky I like my tea plain though.

    Well, diet coke really doesn't do anything good for you....lol But tea (real tea, not the kind kinds you buy in bottles loaded with all kinds of crap) is great for you. I'd die without my tea.

    Whatever...haters gonna hate xD
