Default Soy Protein Isolate

I have some if this Soy Protein Isolate and was wondering whether anyone else used it. I made some yummy bran muffins with it (photo forthcoming) and it worked really well. Is it really zero carbs though?

Well, I looked up a similar product here because the link you provided did not provide the calories in the product. I need the caloric content in order to run it through my hidden carb calculator.

I did, and it didn't jive. I came up with a negative figure for the carbs when I ran the numbers as given. When I adjusted the 50 grams of calories up to 52, then everything jived.

So, in answer to your question, I suppose there are truly no carbs in that product.

Hope this helps...

Yeah, a true soy protein isolate is just the protein (with some fat) fraction of soy. It (or whey protein isolate if you have issues with soy) is a good way to add some protein to a given recipe. As opposed to soy products with other flavors and ingredients, it's pretty much zero carbs.

Fantastic, thanks everyone!

I also have whey protein which I use to make shakes, although that is not zero carbs, it is 1.2g per serving, low but still not zero.
