I was emailing back and forth with Mike Roussell the other day about how to control carbohydrate intake, and I asked Mike if he had any recommendations in regard to lower carb protein powders. I was expecting to get back a quick list, but I got a whole lot more.
Here’s what he said.
“Low carb protein powders?
EvoPro from cytosport is another good protein blend. I’ve only had their vanilla but it was good.
AST-SS’s VP2-Pro is an isolate/hydrolysate. Their fruit punch, orange, and vanilla are all pretty good. Because it is a isolate/hydrolysate it makes a very watery shake (unlike MD or EvoPro).
Matrix 5.0 from Syntrax is a pretty good tasting chocolate. I comes in like a 5lb bag and it is dirt cheap… so that makes me wonder.
Lean Dessert from BSN isn’t low carb because it has ~10g of carbs per serving. It is really sweet… especially the cinnamon bun but amazing if you mix it with cottage cheese.
I’ve never tried the Met-Rx ProteinPlus but John Berardi recommends it.
ProPeptide from Dorian Yates Approved is another protein blend I haven’t tried but I know Cassandra Forsythe uses it.
ProV60 from Labrada is pretty good. You’ll have to check the carb count I think it is 6g CHO per 30g PRO.”
I’ve mentioned it before, but if you haven’t checked out Mike’s Your Naked Nutrition Guide yet you’re missing out on an outstanding nutritional resource.
