Is it good to wake up and drink protein?

[perf55]

My coach said it was good idea to replace breakfast with a protein shake in the morning. Is this actually a good idea or is eating whole foods probably better?

 

[SteveMobsterG]

No. A small glass WITH breakfast would be better. Unless you need to lose weight - is that why your coach suggested it?

 

[stevesmi]

i am not a proponent of protein shakes at all. so my answer is no

my guess is your coach is trying to sell you protein powder

 

[SteveMobsterG]

That would be kinda funny if true

I am personally more of a whole food guy myself. I would have egg whites for breakfast.

Protein powders have their place but whole foods are always better.

You can have something to eat with your protein shake no problem.

Whole food is always better. Fire your coach.
