A splash of milk in your coffee: does it break a fast?

It depends

Technically yes, because it has calories. A splash (20–30 ml) is 10–20 kcal: some people accept it to keep the habit. No study says where the line is; if it helps you get there, it is a reasonable choice.

Approximate energy: ≈10–20 kcal
