Have any suggestions for low carb protein drinks after a work out (or as a quick meal)?

How about pre-workout drinks? I've tried FULL BLOWN EXTREME by Max Muscle but it has 17 carbs in it. Any feedback on N.O. Explode? Sometimes you need that extra boost!

    I get the Body Fortress - Super Advanced Whey Isolate, I buy it at walmart. has only 2 carbs a serving. I get the vanilla, its easy to add/change the flavor if you want.

    Or if you want something already made, I get the 4 pack of atkins shakes. they come in so many flavors now. they are very good!

    I like the "Eat good feel great" pure protein shake mix, 25 grams of protein and 3 carbs.

    My boyfriend takes N.O. Explode regularly and I've tried it twice now, too. I really like it, but I took it this morning and then had a "fit test" done as I just started with a new trainer and my heart rate was REALLY high. I wouldn't use it if you're doing cardio, but I do think it helped me lift more!

    I really like the Myoplex and Myoplex lite. I use them post workouts to help build muscle.

    I use Precision Engineered - Whey Protein Powder after my workouts. It is 100 calories a scoop (so not a meal replacement) and only 2 carbs. It doesn't taste amazing, but it also isn't disgusting. But, it definitely helps to build lean muscle after a workout. :)

    I just tried these as well and liked them. Chocolate & vanilla.

    As long as they're a big brand due to performance instead of advertising, the whey proteins are all low carb.

    For low carb pre-workout, have you tried coffee?

    If you're low carbing, doesn't all these caffeine drinks mess up ketosis?

    For my pre-workout, I have 20g of protein, BCAA caps and creatine caps. I don't have caffeine very much, so I can only have it first thing in the morning. This rules out most pre-workout formulas for my evening workouts.
