Does a Protein Powder Exist that is both Low in Sodium and Cholesterol

[ct2272]

In 2001 I started taking Isopure Zero Carb because I am lactose intolerant. Protein supplementation was equivalent to about 400-500 grams in additional to 1 or 2 normal low fat meals. The protein powder/additional complex carbs is the bulk of my diet. It's boring, I know. Fast forward to Dec/2005 and I was getting my BP checked and it came to 175/85 (Stage 2 hypertension). The doc recommended I eliminate salt and I found that this powder was responsible for between 4 and 6 grams a day (recommended dietary intake is 2 grams).

I eliminated sodium to 1.5 grams by switching over to IDS Multi-Pro. 5 pounds of water weight eliminated felt great since my kidneys could now normally regulate the sodium. 5 weeks later I realized after speaking with a nutritionist the IDS was responsible for 2-3 grams of cholesterol per day (normal daily requirement is 300mg). I was consuming the equivalent of a dozen whole eggs per day.

I am now on a vegan rice protein powder from Protein Factory. Total sodium consumption is 300mg per day and 0 cholesterol. My normal daily intake of carbs usually includes 4 cups of oatmeal.

Is there a protein powder out there that is similar to the rice protein powder in characteristic but maybe a whey source or have I found the only thing that is on the market today like this?

BP is back down to 120/75 with 65bpm and <150 cholesterol.

I dont know if i am seeing this correctly, but you are taking in 4-500 grams of protein a day, and only eating 2 meals?????

Actually I'm constantly grazing all day so it comes to around 5 or 6 different feedings per day normally. It looks like this:

meal 1 - 2-3 cups of oatmeal and protein shake
meal 2 - (about 3 hours later) Ham on wheat toast (or multiple sandwiches)
meal 3 - (about 3 hours later) more oatmeal and protein shake
.... keep going .....

no carbs after about 9pm but otherwise I get around 500 grams of protein that way with moderate carbs and low fat. I've been training and eating this way since 1986 and so far so good.

I'll have a look at that protein powder that was recommended, thank you.
