Disclaimer: this may not make TOO much difference but I am fairly happy with the diet so now its the fine art of tweaking and tuning to get the optimum
My typical breakfast is 12 eggwhites and 75g oats (around 40g protein, 50g carbs). For variation and ease I have incorporated eggwhite powder to use (not too often, maybe 2-3 times a week) as an alternative. In those cases, I make a pudding like mixture of protein powder and raw oats (actually delicious) to get roughly the same nutritional value.
Q1: I see a contradiction in many threads about breakfast. Many people advocate a shake/pudding mix as above but with WHEY protein. They say its optimum to get the protein into your system ASAP when you wake up. However other threads say whey is only good for PWO when the speed is needed and other forms should be taken during the day for their slower digesting properties (such as eggwhite). Which one is better for breakfast?
Q2: I don't have specific days for eggs or for the powder alternative, I choose them at random. Should I change that? Should I try and make training day breakfast (4x a week) with the powder and eggs on non-training days or visa versa (bearing in mind breakfast is my preworkout meal)? If so, would whey or egg protein be the better choice?
Thanks,
