Why whole cow milk calorie numbers differ
Cow milk varies mainly by fat content. Full-fat milk from a dairy or loose-milk vendor holds much more than toned or skimmed packets, and buffalo milk, common in many homes, is richer still. The cream layer that forms on boiled milk is extra, and so are sugar or flavoured powders stirred into the glass, so note what you add.
