first thing to put down when waking up?

**Venum** · 03-29-2006, 08:48 AM

before work i usually just pound a whey shake because i dont have time..about an hour later i go to the deli by my job and get egg whites to have with the oats i packed....so should i have some flax with the whey in the morning first thing to count it as a real meal cuz whey alone i dont count as a meal

Totally dependent upon your entire daily intake, your goals, etc.

Personally I need a pro/carb meal first thing in the morning.

Exactley, i am just learning that now and my body is responding good to splitting up macros...but imo whey and some type of slow digesting carb like oatmeal or some type of whole wheat is good...its what i have

But like swole said it is totally dependant on your personal goals...imo

Yep,depends on your personal goals bro. First thing for me is water in the morning..=p

i used to drink a shake and then around 30 minutes later have egg whites and oatmeal. now i am just consuming the egg whites and oatmeal.

you could add flax, but like everyone else said, what is your entire daily break down? do you have it posted on here somewhere?

If its an hour before you get carbs...does anyone know if his body would start trying to convert the whey to energy?

good question cause sometimes having a shake is common then 30 minutes or an hour late a whole foods meal is common from my experiences....anyone?...swolecat???

i am taking a bio nutrition class now and ive learned that protein is the last source of energy for the body and doesnt like converting it to energy becuase it has to work preety hard...i wouldnt really use a pure protein shake with no carbs and fat as an energy source.............complex carbs energy

Can someone explain why you would add flax oil? Thanks!

Flax slows absorption rate (as do all fats). But as Novastepp stated, it would depend upon your daily requirements.
