Protein Shakes and Meal Bars - Diet & Nutrition Message Board

Hi all! I am looking for a high protein/low carb meal replacement shake or bar to supplement my diet. Do any of you know of a good tastng shake or meal bar that has an accurate carb count? I hear that a lot of these products have hidden carbs.

I DO NOT want a product that contains soy. I am borderline hypothyroid and soy protein might cause me some problems. I guess whey protein would be my other option.

Thank you.

Best thing for you would be Optimum Nutrition's 100% Whey (Double Rich Chocolate is like drinking chocolate milk VERY good)

You can get a 5 lb tub for about 30 bucks, and it has 80 serving.

29 gram scoops, 23 grams protein, 3 carbs.

Take 3 times a day and you'll be set.

(On a side note, since you are supplementing with protein you wont lose *bodyweight* since you will be suppling your muscles with nutrients to grow BUT you WILL LOSE BODYFAT! So don't watch the scale just check the mirror OKIE?)
