Whey protein for breakfast?

[nilsac]

Hi all,

Looking on net for low carb breakfasts ideas and came across whey protein as a breakfast alternative.

Is this an alternative and has anyone tried it?

Thanks for the advice.

Protein shakes are good, but be careful about the carb content of them. Some can have only 1-2g carbs, and some can have up 17-20g. They're really aimed at people who exercise a lot, to help repair the damage to muscles after a strenuous work out, which is why the carb content can be high.

If I remember correctly, Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard is pretty low carb.
