HAVA shares sample graphics on the HAVA FB page with explanations, the milk graphic is posted today with instructions how to use it.

"What's the best milk for weight loss, body composition, and metabolic health? Note that the goal is not to get as high a score as possible on everything you eat or drink. The goal is to end up with an average score for the day that is in a good range for you.
Most people, however, would do well to increase their average daily satiety score, at least if they want to lose body fat or improve metabolic health. Switching to a higher-scoring milk may be a simple way to achieve this.
*The low scores*
Very high-fat milk, like heavy cream, half-and-half, and coconut milk, score low.
For most people, these may not even be ideal for coffee.
Oat milk (38) and chocolate milk (40) score a bit low, too.
For context, oat milk contains refined carbohydrates and is low in protein—not what most people need. Even if you want plant-based milk, there are better options.
*The middle scores*
Regular full-fat milk (51) or 2% milk (61) get balanced scores.
Decent plant-based options include almond milk (54) and soy milk at 68.
Note that unsweetened brands of almond milk may score even higher, sometimes up to the 90s.
*The highest scores*
At the top, you find ultrafiltered milk, especially fat-free ultra-filtered milk (100).
What are these ultra-filtered milks? They are simply filtered milk that is significantly higher in protein and lower in milk sugar than regular milk.
The commonly available brands are from a company called Fairlife, and these kinds of milk can be worth testing (note that we're not sponsored by any food company).
Regular skim milk also scores high.

The switch from heavy cream to 2% Fairlife was not noticeable to me taste-wise, and I make an awesome ice cream with it. Little tweaks add up to a high satiety diet. HAVA is sharing many FREE graphics that describe how it works. Milk is a subset of the Dairy Graphic. The scores for every food can be easily filtered. Like Nancy, I already know the P:E ratios and Satiety scores of the foods I eat, but if looking for a high satiety food list for your preferred diet, these are pretty cool.
