by far the best!

order it from bodybuilding.com.....their shipping is faster than any other company out there.

Although I do live on the same coast as one of their distribution centers, routinely when I order from them, it arrives in my state within 24hours and I usually get stuff in 2-3 days after ordering. They ARE much better than average! Also, if you order from them, don't forget to go to the free sample part of the store and throw in some freebies. They will often time do this anyway, but get some free protein bar samples.

Hi Everyone,
I'm currently using a whey protein that has a lot of calories and a little high on the carb scale.... Any suggestions for a lower cal/lower carb protein? Please no shakeology or body by vi suggestions please!

TIA!

I guess it depends on how you use it. If it's prepared drinks or snacks, you are going to get more carbs because whey by itself is something less than tasty. You said no shakeology, I'm not sure what that means so I hope I am not overstepping.... I use any powdered whey protein that has low carbs and high protein and little or no fat. I read the labels. And the way I consume it is in a shake--4 oz milk, a scoop of the whey protein, about the same amount of cocoa, about the same amount of instant coffee (if I am in a mocha mood), some cinnamon (maybe a teaspoon--enough to make a difference). If I get wild and crazy, I haul out the dedicated coffee grinder and freshly grind some flax or chia and throw that it. Switch on the blender, add a little water if it isn't thin enough, crank in some crushed ice.

High protein, low carb, low fat, high in flavonoids, high in fiber, high in omegas, and tastes totally decadent.

I replaced meals with these shakes as well....maybe just add a little peanut butter to it.

Okay good, that's what I thought I could do (and correctly) lol, thank you again! Congratulations on your WL! Great job!

thanks

i always get "designer whey" in chocolate, so so so delicious. half a scoop and a cup of almond milk, and i have a 75 calorie snack that curbs my appetite! i almost always have it post-workout.

I also use Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein in the Double Rich Chocolate. I got it at a local grocery store for like $12 bucks. I use mine as a breakfast most days because I wake up and work out then drink it. It keeps me full for a really long time. Like I usually force myself to have a mid-morning snack because I don't want to go that long without eating. I've only been using it about a week but I highly suggest it!

I use one I can find at my local stores from EAS Whey Protein. It's a whey isolate with 23g protein and I think it's 3g carbs in each scoop. 130 calories, so not too bad. I mix with water unless I'm replacing a meal. I have mixed it with almond milk, regular milk, frozen berries, yogurt... whatever. It mixes smooth and tastes good, I've used the chocolate and the vanilla.

I really want to get Shakeology, but it's expensive to get into. I figure once I get into it and replace my morning snack with it or breakfast I'll probably love it, but I need to come up with the $$ first. Of course, I'm dumping my gym membership next month since I'm doing P90X at home and loving it, so that will help.

Good luck!
