I used about 2 oz of milk today in my 16 oz of coffee this morning, it came out to 3 carbs according to fitday. 2 oz of half and half is the same carb count.

Can I use the milk or not?

If you're following Atkins, then no -no milk.
Use heavy cream for your coffee.

Always eat your veggies first!

For the same reason you should choose 3 carbs of veggies over 3 carbs of chocolate. Yes, 2oz milk and cream have the same carb count according to fitday, but the carbs from milk come from lactose. (sugar)

Plus, I think fitday rounds up. My milk container says 11 grams of carbs per cup and cream is about 8 per cup.

You don't need to use as much cream as you would milk, so the numbers are even less. Just a little bit of cream is enough to lighten and enrich the coffee.
