WHATEVER brand you are using, check out the carb count and the Ingredients List on the container. I don't use anything with more than 2g per scoop (standard small scoop, says on it 60CC or 1/4C) or with sugars in the Ingredients List. We are each responsible for checking those things for ourselves.
I have always considered, for me, a sugars-free low carb protein powder as do-able on Induction/Startup; it's protein. The atkins website says much the same, somewhere, I think (or used to) re "protein shakes", once a day or so, like for breakfast. You need to check your own plan (you ARE following a plan, right?) and decide.
These kinds of questions about Induction, by the way, are regularly discussed in the General Low Carb, the Atkins and the Newbies forums. Very helpful stuff to go there.
