I do protein shakes 2 times a day dble scoop with whole milk would I be better off with
Whole milk is driving up your carbs. When I make protein coffee I use 2 oz of heavy cream and 2 oz of water, then add 1 1/2 scoops of powder, a tiny dash of cinnamon, a packet of Truvia or Splenda, shake, then add 9-10 oz of brewed coffee or chai tea.

The heavy cream mixed with water is my preferred method as well. Besides using it in the occasional protein drink, also use it for Jello brand SF cook and serve pudding and when making "milk" gravy. Sometimes use half and half but prefer the heavy cream/water combo due to fewer carbs.
For me, the coffee is simply a flavoring agent, since it adds very little in the way of nutrients, even antioxidants.
Unlike most, I need the carbs from whole milk to stabilize my weight. At almost 4 years out, my DS is still like a runaway freight train, and my doctor want me to keep my weight no lower than 160 before plastics. The skin removal and lipo will get rid of about 10 -15 pounds.
