Protein shake question

I use the protein powders from Bariatriceating.com and have enjoyed all of them, so far. My question is this: The jug says 23 grams of protein...but it doesn't say if this is including the milk you use or not. If I make the shake with Carb Countdown milk do I add the grams of protein from that to the 23 from the protein powder??? Hope someone can clear this up for me. Jean Lap RNY 5/24/05 255/239/150

The protein drinks can be made with water so the caloric info does not include milk. So, if you use carb coundown...you can take that 23 grams up to about 35 grams which is about all that can be absorbed at one time by a person without absorption issues, that is.

I'm with Kathy - the nutrition information is based solely on the powder - nothing else. If you mix it with the carb countdown - more protein!! Way to go! Michelle

Thank you Kathy and Michelle !! That's what I needed to know !! YAY !!! So I've been getting in more protein than I thought. Jean Lap RNY 5/24/05
