High protein/Low carb Jake light shake

Hi,

I am using Jake for some years and I am very happy with the taste and the concept. Have you thought in a Jake Light version with High protein composition (i.e. reduced carbs)?

I have found for example this low carb option https://www.spacenutrientsstation.com/buy that is what I was looking for, but I am happy with Jake's taste and packaging.

I'm very curious of how you've experianced Jake, how it has affected your health. After so long time you must have a pretty good look on the whole picture. Have it been negative in any way?

Hi @Cif, happy to hear you're enjoying Jake. A quick search gives me the following comparison. It seems that Jake Light already provides more protein and less carbs than the option you're linking to:

				Jake		100%Food
Calories		500	kcal	500 kcal
Carbohydrates	31	g		69 g
Sugars			5.6	g		12 g
Fiber			7.0	g		14 g
Protein			40  g		13 g

That's actually quite a small amount of protein.

I have been taking Jake (only jake) like 4-5 months, without any problem, good health according to the blood analysis. It has helped me to keep me on diet. Then I only use it for lunch when I am at the office, and it goes well.

Thanks Julian for answering. Maybe I did not explain well.

According to blendrunner https://www.blendrunner.com/,

100% FOOD low carb has 45% protein, 20% carbs, 35% fats
Jake Light has 32% protein, 28% carbs, 40% fats.

This low carb option 45-20-35 vs 32-28-40 it is closer what I searching for my current diet.

Thanks for answering!

I would like that too. I feel very well on a low carb diet. I lived one a low carb diet for a few years. Jake has to much carbs for me.

I have started to gym with my buddy, and I would like to see this aswell!
I am abit obese and don't want too much calories, but still want to be able to maintain my muscles. I am currently looking into buying either Whey or BCAA suppliments, I'm not really sure of which I should go with.

Whey has all amino acids, whereas BCAA have 3, but 3 very essential amino acids for muscle building and maintaining.
Does anyone know if I will be affected in a bad way if I take Jake Light 3 times a day and use BCAA suppliment, will I get amino acid deficiency?

EDIT: After reading more about protein and how it works, I must say that 120g protein in a day is kinda much, instead of too low as I thought before.. I weight about 103kg so for me I need just a little more protein, but for non overweight people it's not too little at all!
