Energy comes from USDA nutrient 1008. Salt is calculated as sodium × 2.5, with unit conversion to grams. It is not a separately measured salt value.
Preparation
2% milk is 50 kcal per 100 g — the 2% is fat by weight, so 2 g per 100 g against whole milk's 3.3. That single gram is the entire difference between the two rows, and it is 11 kcal per 100 g. Protein is marginally higher here than in whole milk, at 3.3 g against 3.2, because removing fat leaves everything else slightly more concentrated.
Logging this food
A cup is 244 g and 122 kcal, a fluid ounce 31 g and 15, a quart 976 g and 488. Milk is easier to log by volume than almost anything else, since a carton states its own size — the trap is the uncounted splash rather than the poured glass.
Swaps and alternatives
Skim is 34 kcal per 100 g, another 16 below this, with slightly more protein again at 3.4 g. Whole is 61. Across a litre a day the three rows differ by 270 kcal, which is worth a decision; across a coffee they differ by three, which is not.
