What kind of milk is this?

I started today with the resolve to actually log my food. Having lost 2.5 stone, I have now plateaued for several weeks, and unless my recent blood tests show a thyroid problem I am going to have to restrict my calorie intake to take the next plunge lower.
So I washed my lunch down with a lovely cup of tea with milk, made with the crappy teabags they leave out at work in an open Tupperware container to go stale. As I was about to log this delicacy I found that your app lists the humble cup of splosh as 100 calories, with 40g of protein.
I don't remember having to carve the milk, or accidentally slipping half a kebab in my brew.
Please help this tired and fed up fatty understand the reasoning behind this rather depressing value for what I consider a staple.

that sounds like a bad food entry - for the protein amount but my 11oz of fairlife Chocolate that i have to drink today is 200cal (6g fat, 19g carb, 19g fat)1

The food database is user created. You found a bad entry, don't use it. Whoever created it was obviously adding more than just milk, but who knows? Find a good entry for whatever milk you used, and log that.4

if you want to communicate with under armour (who own the site) then contact the MFP helpdesk.
if you want to log your food accurately, spend a little time searching the database for decent food entries, or edit the crap ones, like the one you found.3 -
My black tea entry that I commonly use is 2 calories. If I were using milk I would add it seperately. I generally drink mine black.3

You're talking to your fellow users here, not anyone running MFP.
The database is user-created, there are good entries and bad ones. Your logging experience is going to be as accurate as you want it to be, it generally requires a bit of extra work at first to find reliable entries for your commonly consumed foods.1 -
I'll just add that 100 calories isn't out of the realm of possibilities (although the protein is definitely wrong). I drink a cup of milk tea nearly every morning and spend roughly 110 calories on it (because I use the equivalent of 250 mL of low-fat milk). Whole milk is 70 calories per 100 mL, which is a little less than half a cup, so it all comes down to how much milk you "sploshed" and what the fat content of it was. Sad, but a fact of life! I drink a lot less milk than I used to.0

The best milk I have found, the consistency and taste of 2% but is fat free.

same here! when my parents are in town and who consume significantly more milk - i buy the cheap stuff for them and hide the good stuff - fairlife is about the only stuff i drink when i'm on my own3 -
I use the same since I found it. I dont drink a lot of milk so I can justify the $3.99CDN weekly no problem for the bottle.
Or this... but this is new and just coming in. Not available in all the local shops. And its Canadian
3.99 CN? That's like .75 US? Right? Lol😅1 -

Unfortunately, the "verified" green check marks in the MFP database are used for both user-created entries and admin-created entries that MFP pulled from the USDA database. To find admin entries for whole foods, I get the syntax from the USDA database and paste that into MFP.
Here's an example of an admin entry for 2% milk: "Milk, reduced fat, fluid, 2% milkfat, with added vitamin A and vitamin D"1
