I can't honestly give you a definite answer. However, I will guess, I think that it is okay. Look at the back of the container and check the carb count. If it is safe the count should be very low or non existant. Also check and see if any sugar has been added.

The whey protein I am currently taking contains 3 grams of carbs per serving so its ok for me. check the labels of yours.

Thanks for your insight Teth,you have no problems with whey?? I ask only because some muscle mags say that even though whey is low carb that the protein structure hits the blood stream fast and this causes a spike in insulin!
