% Daily Value is how much 100 g contributes to the FDA Daily Values for adults and children 4 years and older, the figures on US nutrition labels; a dash means there is no Daily Value for that nutrient. "Not reported" means USDA has no measurement for this food, not that it contains none.

very low
  • Net carbs are total carbohydrate minus fiber: 4.8 g − 0 g = 4.8 g per 100 g. Low-carb plans usually count these.
  • Protein per 100 kcal compares how much protein each food gives for the same calories: 2% Milk gives 6.6 g.
  • Energy density is calories per gram. At 0.5 kcal/g, 2% Milk is very low on the CDC's scale (very low below 0.6, low to 1.5, medium to 4, high above 4); lower-density foods give a larger portion for the same calories.

Logging 2% Milk: what to know

Fat is 2 g per 100 g, between whole milk's 3.3 g and skim milk's 0.1 g. A cup is 244 g, and USDA also lists a quart and a fluid ounce. USDA's name notes added vitamins A and D, so this is the fortified carton.
