I don't have personal experience but my NUT told me to continue my "pregnancy-diet" while I was BF, whi*****ludes 100g of carbs a day.

when you are b/f, you have to get in a certain amount of calories, carbs, etc a day or your milk supply will suffer or diminish. You also have to get a lot of water in too or you will get dehydrated. I would say protein shakes are ok but you have to get actual food in too. I would talk to a lactation consultant and see what they say.
