[QUOTE="Tophat1900, post: 2055247, member: 362123"] You'll just have to try a low as possible carb one, you can get a whey protein isolate which are usually extremely low carb (Less then a gram of carbs per serve) high protein. And you can get whey protein concentrates that have just a few carbs per serve, but less protein, but that's not a problem imo. Avoid anything called a mass gainer, those in general are full of sugar. As usual, read the labels, see what's in them before you buy[B] if you go the powder route[/B]. Then it's a case of test and see how it impacts. You don't have to follow directions and use a full serve scoop.... when I use it, I tend to use a lot less if having a decent meal. I might have 10g if the meal lacks the amount of protein I want. And you don't imo need to follow directions on how many times a day you use it. In other words, use your best judgement. I find directions are aimed at getting you to re-order more asap by having you drink a lot of it. Protein shakes can be good if you are on the go. Or you can eat more eggs, meats, nuts and cheeses etc. [/QUOTE]
