MrsAnders 34 Posted August 12, 2013 I've been researching and I'm finding a discrepancy in grams of Protein per serving. The canisters say the same thing but when I compare the labels some have 6grams of protein and others have 25 grams per serving. Is some specially formulated for WLS patients? I was just trying to find the best price. What is the difference? Anyone know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've tried all of the Syntrax Nectar flavors and I remember them all having about 23g of protein. 1 TwinsMama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm so confused. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
southernsoul 773 Posted August 12, 2013 Check the serving size. I think my canisters list the serving size as 1/4 of a scoop with 6g protein...which means 24g for a whole scoop. I don't know why they do it that way...seems weird to me, since I always use a whole scoop & I assume most other folks do, too. 1 TwinsMama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notmeanymore 629 Posted August 12, 2013 Im loving the Syntrax Nectar in the vanilla Bean Torte. Taste really matters to me so Ill sacrifice a couple of grams of Protein for the taste. 23 or 25, makes no difference to me because to me its still a good amount to get in one meal. I have a shake for Breakfast then I have the rest of the day to make up the rest of my protein grams. We are going on vacation next week and I just picked up a 12 pack of single servings of the Syntrax at Vitamin Shoppe. That way I dont have to worry about getting my morning protein Thinking ahead is the best thing for me. 1 MrsAnders reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know what I'm such a ditz! Lol I just realized the difference. It's bc some bottles say 1/4 scoop. I just seen where it says a whole scoop for 23 grams.

When I went back and looked I noticed that. In my defense I'm on my iPhone and I didn't magnify the whole label at first. Ha ha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonRodolfo 1,416 Posted August 12, 2013 Sorry about that. Lol. Sorry about that. Lol. No worries, I had forgotten about that. Like southernsoul, I use an entire scoop for 8oz of Water. 1 MrsAnders reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't even met with surgeon yet and I'm already researching all this stuff. I can't sit idle and wait. I have to look up stuff. Lol hopefully this will be a good thing and I will be successful after surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
southernsoul 773 Posted August 12, 2013 Also, on the Syntrax website you can order a sample pack of flavors. It's 12 packs for $12, plus about $2 shipping. I love the vanilla bean torte & chocolate truffle, but wanted to play around with the fruit flavors before buying a big tub. I had to end up emailing them to get the sample pack, as the phone number went to voice mail, but that might have just been a hitch on that day.

Look at the differences between serving sizes. 6 gms sounds like 1/4th of the packet of Syntrax which is a fourth of the serving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwinsMama 483 Posted August 12, 2013 No problem! I wish I could give you all mine. I have the unflavored, Cookies, chocolate, and vanilla. Post-op I cannot do these. So I have 4 new ones (ran out the week before surgery) and I'm so ticked I just can't throw them away. Edited: 4 newly opened ones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
