Without, anytime I put something as “optional” it will not be included in the nutrition. The problem with protein powder is every kind is different.
I recommend looking at the calories on the back of your protein powder, multiplying the calories per serving by 2, and then divide that by 20. This will give you an accurate calorie count with your favorite protein powder.
For example, buy favorite protein powder is Orgain, 2 servings is 340 calories. Divided by the 20 servings (340/20=17) so this protein powder increases the calories by 17 additional calories per serving.
Is the calories listed with protein powder or without?
