Milk powder vs protein powder??

 I've seen quite a few posts on here about adding "milk powder", which I assume to be non-fat dry milk, to food items to increase their protein level.  I see the same with protein powders like Unjury unflavored.

Does anyone know which is more beneficial to weight loss including protein and carb count???

I'm sure the milk powder is cheaper but I'm not in this to save money

There's nothing wrong with the protein in milk, but whey isolate or whey concentrate (or the soy versions, if you're whey intolerant) are better and more easily absorbed by your system.  The milk proteins are slower to digest and, with our new smaller stomachs, may not digest enough to get the full benefit of the protein.

I never thought about the digestibility (is that a word?? lol)

 Have you found a good unflavored protein powder??

Unflavored?  Nope.  There's always an aftertaste, so I keep some basic unflavored around, but don't use it much.  You really have to do a trial and error taste test to figure out what you can tolerate.  Honestly, you wouldn't drink any of them if it was let to choice, but you need to find one that you can at least choke down, and, hopefully, even enjoy! 

Milk powder certainly has more carbs than protein powder. You should compare the exact amounts for the ones you are considering. My surgeon has his patients on a low carb plan, trying to keep our carbs at 40 or below while in the losing stage. So, by logging all your food before you eat/drink it, you can ensure that you stay within your own limits.

This site, sparkpeople and a number of others are great for keeping track of your intake to ensure maximum weight loss.

My surgeon likes us to put nonfat dry milk in with everything for the extra protein.

My surgeon likes us to add protein to what we can, and milk powder to the rest.

I can't tolerate unflavored protein, so I add my protein powder to things like greek yogurt. Surgeon says to add milk powder to things like soups, mashed potatoes, cream of wheat, etc.

He has patients on a low-carb diet overall, but during the mushy phase his priority is healing the tummy over carbs. I'm able to tolerate high protein foods without problem, so I avoid the carby ones.
