Hey all. Im looking for a great tasting low calorie (under 100 calories) high protein powder. Just curious as to what all of you are using. Thanks for the input.

I like products from Optimum Nutrition and Body Nutrition (Trutein) because I like their taste, but based on their protein content, they will all be a little higher than 100 calories for 1 suggested serving. The only one I have seen coming closer to 100 calories with equivalent protein amount as the two I offered, was from Syntrax for their whey isolate. But we may differ in opinion on how much protein is "high protein".0

You could look at Isopure. I'm not sure of their taste, but the serving size is 220 calories for 50g of protein. You could just halve that, which nets about 110 for 25g of protein.
Haven't tried it, but it's worth looking in to.0 -
Whey iso burst from gnc. I like it because it's low carb (only 1g), low calories (85), and a good amount of protein (20g). It also tastes great and mixes better than any other protein powder I've tried. I usually have 2 scoops a day giving me 40g of protein without taking up too many of my calories0

I like the Paleo Pro Plain Naked protein powder because it is just beef and egg protein. 25g protein/serving at 125 cals.
If the cals are very important you could reduce the serving size.0 -
I use Designer Whey in French Vanilla flavor. I like it because it doesn't have artificial sugars like most do, and I try and keep away from things that are common migraine triggers (I don't know my triggers yet, so I err on the side of caution).
I'd tried one other one before I found a small can of the Designer Whey on clearance at the store. After my first experience I was pretty skeptical of protein powder. It was really good though, good enough that I've now purchased two 4-lb tubs of it. The chocolate is not tasty though. I want to get the plain one and use it for baking at some point in time as well.0 -
Optimum Nutrition Gold in the Rocky Road flavor. About 120 calories per serving. I use the Rocky Road flavor. Good amount of protein, taste good and a reasonable price.0

Dr.Oz recommends pea protein powder. One level scoop is 120 calories. No sugar, 24 grams protein. I got the unflavored, and there is a long list of amino acids, and other good for you ing. I am putting it in my green smoothies. It helps keep you full longer, and I haven't had any tummy upsets or anything using it. I get mine from www.puritanspride.com. They run good specials periodically, like bogo.0

It depends what you're looking for, the higher protein content of a whey isolate, or the greater health benefits from a concentrate. Isolate will have less cals from fats/carbs but will be less bioactive with less health benefits. Generally speaking most proteins come in at 100-130 cals per scoop. I'd suggest ON or UN ISO 93 for a good protein content without a high fat cals. Stay away from syntha 6 which is just under 50% protein per 42g ish scoup. Try out bodybuilding.com or hit up a popeyes or gnc and ask if they have any low cal proteins.0

Most good protein powders will be around 23-26g of protein for about 110-130 calories per serving. I use ON Gold Standard Rocky Road flavour, same as somebody else before said. To be honest I'd just say get any decent brand that has low sugar, if you want it to be less than 100 calories then have less than a scoop, since any with less than 100 calories are going to be lower in protein, so that works out the same as just having a smaller scoop of a higher protein one0

Genepro. 98 cals, 30g protein. A lot of whey hurts my stomach and this seems to work.0
-
Isalean...I prefer the vanilla or strawberry over the chocolate.0
-
PES Select Snickerdoodle. 110 Calories and it's the best tasting protein powder I've tried.0
-
Optium Whey. The reasons:
- Reasonable prices.
- Taste nie with water or milk + banana.
- Mixed up great.
- Approx 100 cal. and 30 grams of protein.

I just started using Vega French Vanilla. I can actually say that it tastes good.0
-
EAS is good
Optimum Nutrition is good
MetRX is good
I just started using Dymatize (their casein) and it seems solid as well
heard decent things about Isopure0 -
Vega One any flavor. I love the fact it's plant based.0
-
ON Gold standard whey protein
I buy the big 3.5 or so pound jug off Amazon
It is the stuff I put in a zip lock bag when running late and can't pack a full lunch or breakfast
Not bad tasting
I tried Isopure and OMG it was just horrid, gave it away to a friend at the gym that loved it... I always knew that girl had something wrong with her...0 -
I've been using Impact Whey Protein by myprotein for about 3 weeks now. I'm a bit fussy about artificial flavours and shakes in general so I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to drink them on a regular basis. I picked stracciatella flavour because it sounded like a safe enough option and I was really surprised how nice it tastes (especially when I get to have it with milk once in a while). I even ordered another bag of it the other day.0
