 I bet it tastes good but that's my carb limit for the entire day 

Yeah, was going to say the same thing..

i thought so too but I tried to limit myself to super low carbs like that and I get amazingly fuzzy headed and start nodding off about 2pm. Not a good thing when 2pm is about the middle of my work day and I start saying things like "Take the claim number and your deductible and that basket to a side of a barn" and I am supposed to say "take the claim number, damamged phone and deductible to a corporate store..." If i do about 60 to 80g of carbs (and this is good carbs not pasta rice or potatoes) I do so much better during the day. So I am not too worried about the carbs right now. I'm still losing really well (1 to 3 pounds a day depending on activity level) and I am working out 7 days a week from between 30 to 90 minutes a day so for now I am keeping track of not just the nutritional side of things but also how I feel after I eat something.

I don't particularly count carbs, but 320 calories is a lot for a protein shake.  That's nearly 25% of my daily intake, and I allow myself a lot more calories than many other people.

I would maybe recommend finding a lower calorie shake with the same amount of protein, or saving this one for a rare treat.

I need at least 1200 calories a day to keep up with my life and still lose weight but there's no way this early out I can get it all from food. i just don't have enough room. I tried.  If i go any lower calorie-wise I am falling asleep at the wheel, literally and figuratively. So since my surgeon really stresses getting most of my nutrients from shakes and supplements I figure I'd drink 3 shakes a day and add in food if I have room for it. (Somedays I just can't eat anything solid for some reason. One bite and I'm done) This is the only shake I buy that is ready made and i use it for my breakfast since I am never hungry in the morning but need to get in some nutrition somehow. Then I do 2 other shakes with unflavored protein powder and crystal light at my other "meal" times. Snacks are usually something solid like a piece of string cheese wrapped in a slice of deli lunch meat spread with a tablespoon of greek yogurt or a small container of applesauce. If I am really hungry for some reason in the morning, I will add an ounce of soft beef jerky. Other than that I pretty much live on shakes.

I like the vanilla chai one, too, but it has less protein. Good for you for listening to your body...we all do this slightly differently, but we all eventually get there.

Hey, if you love it and it works for you and you're still losing, by all means. I'm also very glad to hear you're losing so steadily and are doing so well!

I wouldn't be able to use it at this point since it's about half of my dialy calories (I usually do somewhere around 650-700 per day). I would worry, too, about the high sugar content. I've had ver little sugar since well before surgery and am kind of loving the sugar free life. I do fine on super low carb, which I know not all people do.

I'm looking forward to trying it once on maintenance! 

My daughter LOVES the vanilla one and she has one everyday!

Glad you found something that works for ya and tastes good!

 Probably tastes good, but thats 2 meals worth of calories and only one meal worth of protein - Not good for me, too many empty calories.

You should try the NuGo Carb Smarte Peanut Butter Crunch Bar - Bet you'd love that.  I use them all the time when I travel and can't eat Airport food.
