I've seen this in numerous magazine that suggest you drink 20 grams of whey as soon as you wake up in the morning on your lifting days. Supposedly, this will give you an immediate source of aminos that your body will put right to use.

One of the reason I'm posting this is to see what everyone thinks. And, if the results are favorable, it will give the unknowing an idea of something new to try.

I drink a shake upon waking up every morning. This has been a habit of mine for over a year now and when I do not drink my shake I feel the difference through body composition and hunger levels.

hello Bogey.. you got merit for this post, intresting poll topic.
Yes, I always have whey 30gr each morning upon wake up. I think it's very important to take protein for breakfast starting a day for work or study or something else that you do. it help maintain our muscle, health, immune system, etc

I'll usually mix a scoop or two of chocolate or vanilla whey protein into my morning coffee so that I get my caffeine and nitrogen "kick" without having to drink double the liquid.

I take 1/2 serving of pre-load complex at 5:00 am, and Vassive NO at 5:15 am. I get to the gym about 5:45 each morning. Then, 1/2 pre-load immediately after. My first shake is around 20-30 minutes after that.

I try to get whole protein sources as much as possible, especially first thing in the morning. When I'm not dieting down, I usually eat a three-egg, three-egg white omelet with some turkey and veggies, plus about a cup of oatmeal.
I like my whey - especially Gold Standard Rocky Road - but I enjoy real food more.

Since I do my hour and a half of cardio first thing in the morning, I do not want my body to go after my hard earn muscles so I have a scoop of protein plus some BCAA's before I hop on the treadmill.

I prefer a protein mixture in the morning like pro complex rather than just straight whey!

Today is a lift day for me. I had two scoops of ON 100% Whey first thing this morning. Only downside, Rocky Road isnt the best flavor to have at 5 a.m, just my opinion. I really enjoy ON double rich chocolate mixed with chocolate soy milk.
