How many calories should we be looking for in the powders?

[BriDawn 79]

The one I got was from Walmart, the "Body Fortress" whey Protein in chocolate. In one scoop it has 30g of protein and 170 calories. Is this too high?

I hear a lot about the nectar ones on here which are much lower in calories, but I'm not sure where to find them (Alberta, Canada) and I would also like to finish the one I bought before I buy anymore. Thoughts?

I use super advanced whey Protein from costco. (It was recommended by my facilitator). It has 130 calories per 1 scoop with 26g of protein. I am from sask, canada.Taste wise I prefer muscle milk but its only 16g of protein with 160 calories (and has more carbs lol). I am always comparing, more protein, less carb/calorie!

^{I do have some body fortress in my stash as well. There is so much to factor in like how many calories do you consume a day (mine is 800) so I always am looking for lower calorie but you also have to be able to stomach the taste. I have purchased Unjury online and am quite pleased with it as well. It only has 90 calories per scoop 0 carbs, and 21 g of protein...its probably the best for sleevers I think}

I tried one of the nectar brands and thought that it was too sweet. Yuk! Personal preference, though

Seems high. I think you could do better with unjury, Optimum Nutrition or AMP from GNC (if they're in Alberta).

My Nut said rule of thumb is no more than 10 cal per gm of carb. Remember you can adjust your portion size up or down.

I like 110 calories per 25 grams of Protein. (that's 30 grams of powder usually) JayRobb and Isopure both fit the bill for me.. Isopure actually has 105 calories per 25 grams of protein!

Here's the criteria my NUT gave me for Protein shakes:

calories < 200/ serving (remember milk adds calories)

Protein <36 grams/serving

Fat<5 grams/serving

Carbohydrates< 18 grams net carbs/ serving

Just had my first NUT consult. They told me to look for 1g Protein per 1g carb. They said you need some carbs during the healing stage and specifically said don't do zero carb the first 6 wks.
