Protein shake question

  • Howdy.. I have just started using a protein shake. Mostly for those times when I need to go and exercise before I have time to make breakfast and out at uni when I am running low on time and would rather grab a shake than something nasty.

    The shake I am using has the following details - I did speak to a naturopath, but wanted to ask the SBD gurus

    This is for a 30g serve

    Energy 490kj
    117 cal
    Protein 26.9g
    Fat total - 0.2g
    saturated - 0.1g
    Carbs total - 1.3g
    sugars 0.3g
    Dietary fibre 0.2g
    Sodium 70mg
    Potassium 350mg

    Does that look SBD friendly?
    Thanks.
  • Something doesn't add up right. If there are 490 calories there should be more in it than just 27 g of protien. There are 4 calories per g of protien and carbs and @10 per g of fat. So with the given information there would only be around 130 calories. Something is wrong or missing from the ingredients. But that said, I think if there's no sugar it would be OK for SB depending on what phase you're on.
  • Calories are 117 - the 490 is the kj.
  • Oh duh!!! Sorry, had a blonde moment .....I must switch back to a darker shade...soon! I can't believe I didn't see that. Ooops! Then yes, the shake looks good! I was wracking my brain trying to figure this one out too.
  • Thanks chickies

    Hi: I'm new here and was wondering if making your own Protein Shake with Whey Protein Powder is best?

    Thanks, Karen
