Hi again Erb5,

To tell you the truth, I missed that you said you worked out in the morning. When I first read this post and responded, I was babysitting my two neices and wasn't reading carefully enough (one was sleeping and the other was watching TV, so I was good to check the internet for a minute or two).

Anyhow, if you prefer to workout in the morning and you don't want to have a sweeter breakfast, the meals that contain a complete protein source (eggs, meat, poultry, fish, etc) that are more appealing to you, may be used. Just make sure they do contain some carbohydrate (like a slice of toasted sprouted grain organic bread [not made with flour], or some fresh fruit, etc) to replish liver and muscle glycogen and to get your insulin levels up for improved protein repair. Then, you'll likely need to eat again after 2 to 3 hours, and at that time, if you like, you can include a whey shake or just another complete protein meal.

If you want to have whey at some time, I like to mix whey with water and pour it over a whole grain cereal, like shredded wheat or Kashi puffed grains (both do not contain sugar and are good if you do not tolerate simple carbs well). (you can also mix the whey with milk if that's what you like).

Sorry for missing your first point.

Cass
