    ust been going over my diet and i think i have too much protein at breakfast

    breakfast being a shake of 300ml skimmed milk, 50g whey and 100g oats

    this gives 58g of protein and 660kcal, seems a lot for one sitting. will my body be using all this protein or is it too much in one go?

    would i be better of taking 25g of whey instead, so the shake gives 40g of protein and 560kcal?

    I think 50g of whey is OTT at any time, even PWO. How much do you weigh? I'd knock that down to about 30g

    Why not Bison? After an 8 hour fast? What are the dire effects of 50g of protein at one sitting? Can it make one queesy?

    No it's just a fast digesting protein. Now I'm not saying the body can only digest x amount of protein in one sitting but I do think the body will struggle to make use of so much fast digesting protein in one go. 50g of Milk Protein or a big steak and eggs no problem as these will be slow digesting and release amino acids over a longer period of time.

    50g of whey will just release loads in one go, I bet a fair percentage of that would just be converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis and burnt as fuel of stored as fat? So a bit of a waste?

    I tend to have about 25g WPC before my main breakfast, which consists of eggs, etcetc. (Whole food protein - essentialin the morning IMO!)
