I'm not sure how you're doing the math on this one, but the pea protein has 1.2 carbs per serving, ALL of which is dietary fiber, so it has ZERO net carbs. You can't get lower than that. Are you doing some kind of plan that doesn't subtract out fiber grams from carbs for some odd reason?

Definitely. I didn't mean to imply otherwise.

That website has tons of zero-cal options, including adding no-cal vanilla flavoring and stevia extract, which is what I opt for. It's quite tasty. And since I've been low-carbing, it tastes even sweeter to me.

But to each his own. If you're more comfortable sticking with the SPI, nothing wrong with that.
