whey protein shake first thing in the morning?

I was just reading about digestion times of food, and I was wondering if it's a good idea to have a whey protein shake with your breakfast for some fast digesting protein while your breakfast digests?

[scotty51312]

depends on your goals.

if you're cutting id say no, do your cardio first

Bulking or tryin to gain lean mass? Absolutley 1 scoup of whey as soon as you wake up and real food within the next hour.

I put quite a few lbs following that routine for breakfast, scoup of whey and then shower shave and cook breakfast

I think it's a good idea. Fast acting protein after having gone without for several hours.

I like fasted cardio too, but I don't think a whey shake even before am cardio would have much if any negative effect.

I drink a protein shake every morning at 5am then go back to sleep till 8, then finish it off, shower, cook breakfast.
