Would this be considered a restricted?
 

I bought some protein powder that has 110 calories, 8 carbs and 5 grams of fiber in a scoop. Would this still be considered a restricted because it has over 7 carbs or would you deduct the fiber from the carbs which would bring the carbs down to 3???

Thanks for your help!

How much fat and protein is in a scoop? What do you plan on mixing it with? If it's got less than 3.5 grams fat and more than 12g protein it's unrestricted because you count net carbs for restriction verification.

Less than 8 carbs would make it unrestricted.

There is 2 grams of fat and 15 grams of protein. I was just going to mix it with water and ice...maybe a splenda packet too...

Hm. I have some Unjury chicken soup flavored protein powder and one scoop is 2 g carbs and 15 g protein. Is that on plan because I've not used it since I started but I could be using it to up my protein.

8g net carbs or less (subtract DIETARY fiber from the total carbs) is unrestricted. 9g net carbs and above is restricted. The stats on the protein powder look good, just double check to make sure it isn't sweetened with aspartame!

You can use the Unjury chicken soup in place of an IP packet, it is totally fine as an alternative product.
