Low Carb Low Cal Protein Powder for Diabetic

Bevkus

I am interested in boosting my daily protein intake. I see that protein shakes are a convenient way to do that. I dont want a meal replacement, I just want a "snack" type shake or what have you.

I am diabetic, so I need a low carb/no sugar powder....and I'd like to keep the calories as low as possible.

Does anyone have a suggestion on a brand name powder that suits a diabetic?

I use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Natural 100% Whey.

130 calories, 24g protein, 5g total carbs, 1g Dietary Fiber, 2-3g Sugars. 1 gram Fat.

Both the Natural Chocolate and Natural Vanilla flavors are pretty good. I usually mix them.

Why do you need protein shakes to increase protein? You could just as easily eat more lean chicken breast, or any other protein source for that matter. But if you're dead set on having a protein shake, basically any whey protein isolate is going to be high protein/low carb.

Expense, calories, convience, variety...so many other reasons...

Fair enough. Google Trutein, they make some of the best tasting protein powder I've ever had. Specifically the Cinnabon variety. 1 scoop has roughly 120 calories, 5g carbs (1g sugar), and 24g protein.
