I just began working out and have seen a trainer at the gym I go to. He's put me on a low carb(100 g per day with a 300 g cheat day), 150 g per day protein diet. I went to GNC and bought the Twin-Lab ripped fuel protein shake. My first question is, whats your opinion on twinlab? Ive seen other threads re: protein shakes, and it wasnt mentioned. And how do you fix up a shake to make it half way decent tasting? Is it ok to mix with skim milk?
Second, where can I find (on the net) easy recipes for low carb, high protein meals?

Im a 30 year old female, 5'10" 185 lbs, bf% 26 (yeah, i know).
Thanks so much for your help..this place is a goldmine!!

Twinlab's a solid company with good products.

I would think that you would want to mix your shake with water rather than milk if you're trying to keep your carbs low.

twinlabs ripped fuel protien drink that your talking about is hard to choke down,dont think that all protein drinks are the same cuz they're not.they have really good products.BUY THE WAY WELCOME TO THE BOARD....

Yeah, I would mix the shake w/ water too....those carbs add up and if you're only getting 100g, I'd rather get it from something substantial. I have a few links for low carb recipes, but I'll have to get back to ya w/ them.

Welcome aboard! Good luck with the program!

Oh and by the way if you go to nutramedia.com you can get some good information. The cookbooks by Laura Creavalle are excellent!
