New to using Whey Protein. Questions.

So I've lost 83 lbs and have just a few more to go. But I'm pretty much at the point where I need to up my protein intake and try to build back some muscle mass that I have lost. I purchased some whey protein to help up my protein intake daily. I workout every morning before work 4 to 5 days a week doing some strength training and cardio. I try to do cardio every evening. (basketball twice a week) So I guess my questions are:

1) How should I handle my breakfast/morning workout? I"m thinking I'm gonna try to eat a couple eggs every morning pre-workout. And then right after my workout is done drink a whey shake. That's just what I have in mind so feel free to chime in on that.

2) I usually get my cardio (long distance running/basketball) in pretty late in the evening so...I'm wondering if I should even take whey with cardio workouts. And if so, before or after?
