I am planning on working out in the mornings because it fits my schedule best. I was wondering, should I eat a regular breakfast after working out or should I drink a protein drink?

I don't believe protein drinks are ok for induction, so I'd go with eggs and bacon, or some other induction-friendly food.

Eat a regular breakfast. It's best to eat 3 or more normal meals and not rely on shakes etc. for a meal replacement.Start date: 2/22/04 347/222/135 ~ 5'2"

Re: What to eat after morning workouts?
I eat breakfast. Real food, imo, is more healthful for your body than some chemistry lab concoction. Besides if you do the eggs-bacon route, you ARE getting protein plus fat and carbs. And if you do a veggie omelette for breakfast, you get the phytonutrients in the veggies.

Re: What to eat after morning workouts?
Omelet!!!!!
If you are pressed for time, use Egg beaters, and get some pre-grated cheese. Pour three whipped eggs, or eggbeaters, in the pan, add some chopped peppers/onions. I use fresh pico de gallo (no tomatoes, vinegar or frankenfoods) Let it cook til it's about half-set, then put a handful of cheese in there and let it finish. Fast, filling, and about 4 carbs.
Some of the whey-protein shakes are made without sugar, but they have sweetener. The Atkins shakes, I can't personally drink every day, or I will stall. The soy in it wreaks havoc with my thyroid. As convenient as they are,I can have one about twice a week
Soy is a problem for a lot of people. It's an endocrine disrupter, so it messes with the hormones.Comment

Re: What to eat after morning workouts?
I did my workout in the morning because I have to wait an hour after taking my thyroid meds to eat.
make sure you drink some extra water to rehydrsate after your workout but regular atkins legal foods will work great for your weight loss and muscle building.by the book atkinseer
