Does protein powder break a fast?

Now I know the short answer is yes but what I know is if I have say cheese on toast it kicks me into eating, presumably due to effect on sugar levels.

I’m wondering if a protein shake doesn’t have that effect?

After swimming I’m ravenous and instead of carbs I’m seeing if I can get by on a protein shake.

Answer

Yes, it will. If you insist on drinking your shake, can you move you fasting window? You might also be hungry just because your body is cold after swimming. Warm up with some tea, or better yet a hot tub.
