just get something 100% whey, and add dextrose if you need carbs. I have no carbs in a shake prior, and with carbs after working out. It's also cheaper this way.
You can get the dextrose at a home-brew supply store.
zero carb ispoure... i like the strawberry... also after your workout you can either add malto to it or just drink a gatorade before you drink the ispoure.
DW, let me "AX" you a question. Did you sit down with a food counter and establish a baseline of your food intake in regards to total cals, protein, carbs and fats? This is important to find your starting point and adjust from there. If, the key word is if you need to supplement your protein then do it with a shake.
