    Post am cardio meal...

    On the days that I am able to do my cardio in the am on an empty stomach, i was just curious as to how long i should wait to consume my first meal after the cardio? Also, anyone have any opinions on a good meal to be consuming after the morning cardio, keeping in mind that I am cutting?

    Thanks for the help

    You should have a post-workout protein shake and some good fats anytime between the conclusion of your workout and about 45 min after. Wait around 2.5 hours until your next meal after your p.w.o. nutrition.

    Actually he said protein and fats as the first post-cardio meal, not protein/carbs. Just my observation.......

    Thanks for the help, i just want to make sure though. So this differs from my post lifting meal where i should incorporate a protein/carb scheme, or should it still be a protein/fat one?

    Thanks

    Protein/fat meal immediately following my walk in the morning. If I wait any longer than 15 mins to eat, my stomach usually starts making enough noises to wake up the neighbors. Always protein/fat though after cardio.

    I have never read this before...why protein/fat after cardio?

    People are recommending it to other AR bros...but no one has given an explanation.

    Promotes lypolysis. When you ingest carbs after cardio its raises your insulin blunting lypolysis.
