Whey vs Casein for Breakfast QUESTION

Hello all!

In the morning I wake up and do 30 minutes of fasted cardio. Then I have a protein shake then wait 2 hours so my body can keep burning fat and then eat my actual breakfast.

However for this protein shake I was wondering if i should do whey or casein protein, I know what each kind do but I'm just confused. Whey sounds right because it's a fast release but casein is also a good choice, I was thinking just one scoop of whey and another scoop of casein for 40-50g of whey/casein protein.

Btw for breakfast I have 1/2 cup of oats, 8oz chicken and 2 hard boiled eggs. I'm currently on a regular diet.

Thanks!

Also If i only take a protein shake right after my fasted cardio, should I wait a full 2 hours to have my actual breakfast or just wait like 30-60 minutes after my shake?

Why don't you do 45 mins fasted cardio and then just have breakfast? Not sure I like your reasoning that you are still burning after you've had a shake. You'll burn fat all throughout the day if you have your training and diet sorted.

What is a 'regular diet'? Can you post it including macro's?

What are your stats?
