Subject: Protein Powder at Breakfast
If I train in the morning before breakfast, I always have a protein shake with about 15-20g of protein in it.

However, if I don't train in the morning, or I have training or a race after breakfast (eg long ride Sunday) I don't usualyy have any protein shake. I have 6x wheat bix, 1x kiwifruit and about 1.5-2 cups of milk (350-500ml?)

Will the protein from the milk (about 12g) be enough for breakfast.

If I don't have the protein shake, I feel much more hungry for the rest of the morning.

I always incorporate protien into my meals.  I find It keeps my hunger at bay MUCH longer and gives me more energy!  I know it is also important to get those carbs for long rides, but I would add a bit more protien (thats just me, different things work for different people)  I usually add some protein powder to almond milk  and use that in place of milk.  You could add half a scoop to your milk if you wanted.  It sweetens it up too!

I use two scoops of soy protein mix, some frozen fruit bits(blueberries, peaches, strawberries, etc, add skim milk and blend. It works out to about 275 - 300 calories, and keeps me satisfied till lunch or longer.
