Hi,

I bought Impact Whey Protein from MP and I couldn't help but notice there's quite a lot of carbs in it (I think it was 11g per serving) according to the nutrition information.

However, when I went to their website and looked at the product description - there is no carbs in it (though they say the flavoured variety has up to 15% more).

I think you're getting a little confused, MP's whey has minimal carbs in it, around 1g per serving which is from lactose.

Unless you're lactose intolerant it's not even worth thinking about, it's 4 calories worth. Only a pro-bodybuilder cutting for a competition would need to consider such a minor macro.

Let me dig out the bag again. :)
 
If you are taking the protein powder for. Us le recovery then you will want to consume a fair chunk of carbohydrates along with the protein.
 
It'll likely be 11g per 100g, which will break down to 2-3g per serving. Nothing to worry about, and yes it will be higher if it's flavoured, how much so depends on the flavour.

I still reckon that sounds a little high though.

11g per 100g is very high, only a really poor quality whey would be that high.

MP Impact 80% is 4g per 100g
