One 47 g scoop delivers 200 calories with 22 g protein, 15 g carbs (2 g added sugars), and 6 g fat.
If you’re buying Syntha-6 in Chocolate Milkshake, the label tells you most of what you need—if you know where to look. This write-up walks through the Nutrition Facts panel line by line, explains what the percentages mean, and points out the parts people skip (like added sugars, cholesterol, and serving size math).
All numbers below come from the product’s Nutrition Facts panel for the Chocolate Milkshake flavor. If your tub is a different size or your scoop weight differs, treat the label on your container as the final word.
Bsn Syntha 6 Protein Powder Chocolate Milkshake Nutrition Facts And Label Breakdown
The serving size is about 1 scoop (47 g) with 48 servings per container. That “about” matters because scoops can pack differently. If you heap it, tap it down, or swap scoops between tubs, your grams change, and every macro changes with it.
If you want the cleanest tracking, weigh one scoop on a kitchen scale a few times. Once you learn what your “normal scoop” weighs, your log stays consistent.
Calories And Macros Per Scoop
Per 47 g scoop, the panel lists: 200 calories, 22 g protein, 15 g total carbs, and 6 g total fat. Those four numbers do most of the decision-making for you: calorie budget, protein target, and how it fits your carb and fat plan.
What The Protein Blend Means In Practice
Syntha-6 uses a mixed protein “matrix” that includes dairy-based proteins plus egg albumen. Mixed sources can change texture, thickness, and how it sits in your stomach compared with a single-source whey powder. If you’ve tried straight whey isolate and found it thin or too sharp-tasting, this style of blend is often smoother and more milkshake-like.
The trade-off is that blends can bring extra ingredients along for the ride—creamers, thickeners, sweeteners, and a longer allergen list. That isn’t “good” or “bad” by itself. It just means you should read the full panel with your own goals in mind.
Carbs, Sugars, And Fiber In Chocolate Milkshake
The carb line is where lots of buyers misread the label. Syntha-6 lists 15 g total carbohydrate per scoop. Inside that, you’ll see 1 g dietary fiber, 3 g total sugars, and 2 g added sugars.
Here’s the quick way to interpret those lines without getting lost:
- Total carbs (15 g) is the umbrella number.
- Fiber (1 g) sits inside total carbs.
- Total sugars (3 g) also sit inside total carbs.
- Added sugars (2 g) are part of total sugars.
If you’re limiting added sugar, the 2 g added sugars line is the one to track. It’s already calculated for you on the panel, so you don’t need to guess.
Why The % Daily Value Lines Can Mislead
The panel shows 5% DV for total carbs and 4% DV for fiber, based on the FDA’s Daily Value system. Those percentages help when you compare products fast, but they don’t replace your own macro targets. If you’re eating 150 g of carbs per day, “5% DV” isn’t the number you care about—15 g carbs per scoop is.
If you want to see the FDA’s full Daily Value list (including protein at 50 g and added sugars at 50 g), read the FDA page on Daily Value on Nutrition and Supplement Facts labels.
Fats, Cholesterol, And Sodium Per Serving
On the fat line, Syntha-6 lists 6 g total fat and 2 g saturated fat. Those are paired with 8% DV total fat and 10% DV saturated fat on the panel.
Next, the label lists 70 mg cholesterol and 230 mg sodium. Those two numbers matter for plenty of shoppers, especially if you stack multiple servings across the day.
To keep the math simple, if you take two scoops in a day, you’re at 140 mg cholesterol and 460 mg sodium from the powder alone—before any milk, oats, nut butter, or other add-ins.
What “Not A Significant Source” Means
The panel notes it’s “not a significant source” of trans fat and vitamin D. That’s label language used when amounts are low enough that they don’t need to be listed as meaningful contributors for that serving.
Micronutrients You Actually Get From A Scoop
Beyond macros, the label includes several minerals with listed amounts and percentages. In one scoop you’ll see Calcium 190 mg (15%), Iron 1.4 mg (8%), Potassium 350 mg (8%), Phosphorus 130 mg (10%), and Magnesium 40 mg (10%).
Those numbers don’t mean you can ignore whole foods. They do mean the powder contributes more than protein alone, which can be useful if you’re using it as a regular snack or post-workout shake.
Ingredients And Allergen Notes To Read Before You Buy
Chocolate Milkshake includes a protein blend plus additional ingredients used for texture, flavor, and mixability. The label lists common allergens including egg, milk, soy, and wheat. If any of those are an issue for you, this product is an easy “no.”
The ingredient list includes sweeteners such as sucralose and acesulfame potassium, plus thickening and mixing agents. Some people feel fine with these. Some people don’t love the aftertaste or how it sits. If you already know you react poorly to certain sweeteners, that’s the time to trust your pattern.

| Saturated fat | 2 g | 10% |

How To Use These Numbers For Real Decisions
Labels are easy to read and still easy to misuse. The clean way to make a buying decision is to tie the numbers to one goal at a time. Pick the goal that matches your day-to-day routine, then check the lines that drive that goal.
If You Want A Higher Protein-Per-Calorie Ratio
Syntha-6 gives 22 g protein for 200 calories. That’s a solid protein hit, but it’s not the leanest ratio on the shelf. If you’re chasing the leanest ratio, you’ll often end up in whey isolate territory, where calories tend to be lower per similar protein grams.
If taste and texture keep you consistent, this style of blend can still win. Consistency beats the “perfect” label that you stop using after a week.
If You Track Added Sugar
The label’s 2 g added sugars is the line to keep your eye on. The easiest mistake is reading “3 g total sugars” and assuming it’s all added. It isn’t. The panel splits that out for you.
If You Watch Cholesterol Or Sodium
70 mg cholesterol and 230 mg sodium per scoop can stack fast when you drink two shakes a day. If you’re already eating a lot of sodium from packaged foods, your total can climb without you noticing.
If You’re Sensitive To Certain Ingredients
Don’t stop at the macros. Scan the allergen statement and the sweetener lines. If you’ve had gut trouble with a certain sweetener, you don’t need a debate with yourself—pick a powder that uses a different sweetener setup.

Mixing Choices That Change The Nutrition Math
Syntha-6’s label numbers assume the powder by itself. The moment you add milk, oats, peanut butter, or a banana, your shake becomes a new recipe with new totals.
Here’s the simplest way to keep control without turning your kitchen into a lab:
- Start with the powder’s label totals (200 calories, 22 g protein, 15 g carbs, 6 g fat).
- Add the nutrition for your liquid and extras from their own labels.
- Save that recipe in your tracker once, then reuse it.
BSN’s own product page describes the blend and suggested use, including the option to mix with water or milk: SYNTHA-6 product overview.
Second Table For Quick Label Checks
This table is a fast “fit check” to help you decide if Chocolate Milkshake matches your usual needs. It doesn’t replace the full label. It just keeps you from missing the deal-breakers.
| Your Goal | Label Lines To Check | What This Product Shows Per Scoop |
|---|---|---|
| Hit daily protein target | Protein grams, serving size | 22 g protein per 47 g scoop |
| Stay within calorie budget | Calories, recipe add-ins | 200 calories before milk or extras |
| Limit added sugar | Added sugars line | 2 g added sugars |
| Lower saturated fat | Saturated fat grams | 2 g saturated fat |
| Watch sodium intake | Sodium milligrams | 230 mg sodium |
| Compare mineral intake | Calcium, magnesium, potassium | Calcium 190 mg, magnesium 40 mg, potassium 350 mg |
| Avoid certain allergens | Contains statement | Contains egg, milk, soy, wheat |
Practical Takeaways Before You Scoop
If you want the label in one sentence: this flavor is a dessert-style protein powder that sits at 200 calories per scoop with 22 g protein, moderate carbs, and moderate fat. It includes 2 g added sugars, plus a noticeable cholesterol and sodium line for a powder.
Most buying mistakes come from one of three things:
- Assuming a scoop always weighs the same without ever weighing it.
- Ignoring the added sugars line and only looking at total sugars.
- Forgetting that milk and add-ins can double the shake’s calories fast.
If you keep those three in check, the label becomes easy to use, and your results depend more on your daily routine than on label hype.
