Is it pure whey? Or does it have carbs, fats, etc?

IMO, it's best to think of whey protein as a supplement, rather than a meal replacement. It's a very fast disolving/absorbing protein, so it tends not to provide for a high level of anabolic (muscle building) activity over the course of a day. Infact, much of the protein in it will not be used by the body if the shake insn't consumed around the time of a workout.

Finally, since most protein shakes are marketed as a "supplement" to avoid certain FDA regulations, they are probably required to have that disclaimer there.
