Good, Low-Cal, Protein Powders...

Hey guys! I've seen so many great looking homemade protein bars that I want to try, but I have no clue about what protein powder to buy. I want something that's low-cal and low-carb... and preferably one that actually tastes appealing!

So far, I've narrowed it down to the GNC Total Lean powders (http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2174905). It has a little more calories than I'd like (180 for 2 scoops), but so far it's the best I can see.

Does this look like a good option? Does anyone have recommendations?

Thanks!

    I like Aria Women's Protein by designer whey.... 2 scoops for 80 cals
    I also love FitSmart Fiber35 Diet Shake, 2 scoops are 140 cals. I usually just do 1 scoop

    If you have a Whole Foods near by, I suggest MRM whey powder. 85-87 calories per scoop. Delish.

    ISOPURE ZERO CARB!

    my doctor actually recommended it. it's my absolute favorite, 2 scoops is 210 cals and 50g of protein, 0 carbs. i usually break it up into 1 scoop or half a scoop. its a little over your calorie range but that's really good protein for those calories. you can get it at GNC or vitamin shoppe or something like that.

    I like BSC Hydroxycut Pro Chocolate. 2 scoops is 130 calories. I mix it with 1c. of water and 1c. of skim milk and it tastes delicious. Best chocolate protein shake I've had, and I've tried loads of them!
  • I myself drink slim fast milk chocolate. 1 scoop and add milk. as far as snack bars, i eat Fiber one Oats and Chocolate...They are ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! Hope this helps! Good luck on ur journey to weightloss!
