Hi there-I noted in your food journal that you chose powdered milk and not regular skim milk...it is high because that is for a cup instant non-fat powder-not actual milk already made up. Regular skim milk only has about 85-90 calories a cup. :) 

lol dawn is right. nice catch dawn :] make sure you get the measurements and foods right otherwise you could be eating more or less than you think you are.  

Silk is much less, it is the BEST tasting of the different soy milk brands. Vanilla is too sweet for me unless I make a smoothie so I buy Silk light plain for everything else. I was surprised how much like milk it taste in Jell-o sugar free pudding and on top of oatmeal. I never just drink milk. You will be surprised how you can save points and get your calcium in. 2 miles is 2 miles, good for you.  

I have used almond milk since I have to stay away from soy-this is an option too if you want to cut back on cow's milk  

How does almond milk taste compared to soy? I think that would be at the health food store, not sure I have seen that at the Grocery store even in their health food section. Does it compare in calcium and calories? 

The almond is available at many regular grocery stores-generally kept with the shelf stable soy milks. It is also available at health food stores but here it is less expensive at the grocery store so I have been getting it there.~~~~~~~~I think it tastes great! I really don't care for soy milk myself but the almond is lovely. I have to stay away from soy so that is why I tried the almond.~~~~~~~~ Blue Diamond is the brand I am using and it has the following nutritional information: Calories 60 Total Fat 2.5g 4% Saturated Fat 0g 0% Polyunsaturated Fat 0g Cholesterol 0mg 0% Sodium 150mg 6% Potassium 180mg Total Carbohydrate 8g 3% Dietary Fiber 1g 4% Sugars 7g Protein 1g Vitamin A 10% Vitamin C 0% Calcium 20% Iron 2%
