Calories in Slim Fast?

[legocardsagain]

You'd think this was an easy question to find the answer to!

I'm using the high protein powder to make up a shake, but using different non-dairy alternatives. As the taste is different, I'm using a different quantity of powder.

The nutrition info only tells me per serving made up with semi skimmed milk, or per 100ml, again made with semi skimmed milk.

How do I find out the calories per 100g of just the powder? So I can then work out what my serving size and dairy free alternative is?! I'm using 45g of powder, sometimes in almond milk and sometimes unsweetened soya. TIA

Bump?

Can you work it out backwards? You know the calories when it's made up with semi skimmed. You can google the calories in semi skimmed on its own. Take the milk calories away from the made up milkshake calories and you will have the Slimfast alone calories. Am I making sense??!!

Hi OP, I can’t help as I don’t have slim fast in the house so can’t compare, but my fitness pal seems to suggest there are 110 calories in 26g - does that sound right or wrong according to the label? HTH

Take the milk away.

270ml serving = 36.5g powder and 250ml semi skimmed milk totalling 230 calories. 250ml of milk is 93 calories. So 36.5g of powder = 137 calories. So 40g of powder is 150 calories.

Thank you! It's so simple isn't it? I don't know why I couldn't see the calculation that way round. Doh!
