There are several ways to look at it and really you just have to experiment and see what works best for you. Based on one theory it may be best to take your protein 30-60 min before training. Especially if it is a fast digesting protein like whey. This way you get a supply of amino acids to your muscle during work out. Others recommend to take protein right after work out or even when you go to bed. Particularly if your protein is slow digesting like casein or cottage cheese. As for the morning... why not eat a good old omelet and sausage and beens))
