So maybe increase the number you eat? I may be wrong, but I suspect that the protein drinks you mention will work out more expensive than real food. Also, it is important to check the labels, as the cheaper brands especially usually do contain a lot of added stuff that you might be better off avoiding. NB being sugar free does not guarantee carb free, and carbs also raise bg, not just sugars. Other cheap sources of protein are tinned and frozen fish. I buy their own brand tinned mackerel from Tesco and frozen wild salmon from Iceland - both reasonably priced. Total 5% fat yoghurt only contains 3g carbs per 100g and is another good source of protein. I like it sweetened with Erythritol, which I buy online as it seems impossible to find over the counter. Finally, my go-to portable protein snack for the gym is cheese. Again, do check the labels as the carb content varies from nil to around 3g per 100g.</p></blockquote><p></p>
