Would like thoughts/opinions on this. Thanks!

The same rules would apply as with any alternative product. It would have to contain:
less than 200 calories per serving
less than 30% calories from fat
8g or less net carbs to count as unrestricted
at least 12-15g protein
A lot of protein powders have 25 or more grams of protein, so you also have to be careful with how OFTEN in a day you use something like that, if the protein content is equivalent to two IP packets then it's best to only use that product once per day.
Also if you are adding it to food, just be sure that whatever you are making is made up of only foods on the approved list.
Unflavored Protein
