Yes, you're right Ambulo, it is a protein, but it's also considered to be a supplement and they don't necessarily break a fast.

Thanks Bob, gut feeling or not, you're right in saying the healing of my hip is the most important thing I can do for now.

Thanks Janet, and if I use your 50 calorie limit, then my collagen is under that at 40 calories.
Thanks also for the link, I shall have a read through.
In the meantime, I've done a little research and came across a guide to what breaks a fast at Marks Daily Apple:

Collagen
If you’re strict and technical, then yes, collagen breaks a fast. There’s evidence that glycine—the most prominent amino acid in collagen—can inhibit autophagy, but it was a convoluted animal study where inhibiting autophagy with large doses of glycine after brain injury actually improved outcomes. It probably doesn’t apply to someone adding a scoop of collagen to their coffee. Besides, even if it slightly reduces autophagy, a little collagen won’t negatively impact ketosis, fat-burning, or energy intake.
I’m going to say “technically yes,” but “realistically no, collagen doesn’t break the fast.” Avoid if your main focus is autophagy, however.

So maybe!
Probably just easier then if I don't have it in my morning coffee and have it later in the day
