Uh-huh, I'm looking for positive nitrogen balance. I drink a protein shake when I wakeup for the same reason why everybody takes one right before bed. Casein before bed, whey upon awakening...It keeps you with the aminos and protein as long as possible. Sometimes I also wake up in the middle of the night to take another shake. Since I started doing this, I shot up 40 lbs, and only gained 2% bodyfat in the process. I actually learned this trick from something John Parrillo wrote. Go to his website, he knows his shit! There's a thousand references to taking protein when you wakeup. I also think one of the past 2-3 Flex magazine writeups has it as well.
As for taking a multi before working out, it uses alot more water than you think. You can't compare the two. Why does everyone and their mother take a preworkout shake consisting of "protein"?
