About Protein Shake (1 Scoop Whey + Water)
One shake made with a 30-gram scoop of generic whey-based protein powder and 240 grams of water provides approximately 106 calories, 23.4 grams of protein, 1.9 grams of carbohydrate, 0.5 grams of fat, and 0.9 grams of fiber. Water contributes no additional calories or macronutrients.
The USDA generic whey-powder profile used here also supplies phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, riboflavin, zinc, potassium, selenium, and vitamin B12. Actual commercial products vary considerably because whey concentrate, isolate, flavorings, gums, sweeteners, and added vitamins produce different labels.
This entry is intended as a reproducible baseline rather than a substitute for the label on a specific supplement. It assumes exactly 30 grams of powder and water only; any milk, fruit, oats, yogurt, nut butter, sugar, or other ingredient should be calculated separately.
