If biking burns 36 calories per mile and nursing burns 500 calories a day, than I’m nursing the daily caloric equivalent of 13.9 bike-miles. That’s about a mile and a half per feeding.

I don’t actually drink much milk anymore, unless it is soy milk in my cereal. It looks like a gallon of soy milk is pretty close to 2%; 2176 calories per gallon. Soy milk is about twice the price of regular, non-organic milk, so your fuel costs you more per mile [but has other benefits, much like higher octane gasoline].

I’m really glad you figured this out. I’ve seriously been wondering for awhile.
Well, not for milk, specifically, but for everything I put in my tank.
If you ever do rice/soy milk and Edmund Fitzgerald variations on this theme, let me know.
