What kind of meal should u have after a cardio session.

is the cardio postworkout, empty stomach or just in the day somewhere?

[Scarface69]

cardio PW I'd have the normal shake with oats and a banana.

if cardio on empty stomach I'd have real food consisting of egg whites, oats and veggie..

what kind of cardio? duration? meal before or no?

Cardio is between 20-25min fat loss (Is this sufficient time) . Also I consume a meal 1 hour before cardio session this is done on my off days or planning on lifting weights am and doing cardio in the pm.

so between 60-65% of your MHR.

you should wait about 2 hours after your previous meal to do that cardio if it isn't PWO. the duration can be anywhere from 45-90mins realistically. but i stick to the 45-60 min range. afterwards, just have any normal meal. so meal 1 from whatever diet you are using. no need for PWO shake or whatever.

if your cardio is done PWO, i would stick to 55-60% of your MHR for no longer than 30mins. your body is primed to lose a lil fat... and starve off a little muscle. so get your PWO shake/nutrition in asap after that cardio.

now if cardio is intervals, then treat that like a workout. eat beforehand (as close as you can and still workout comfortably) and then have whatever PWO offering or meal you would like afterwards.

i'm going to link up an old cardio thread. now the information is AMAZING. it is long, but i swear if you read it you will have a whole hell of a lot of information about cardio.

Thanks for the knowledge dude. Also whats better for fat loss interval training or brisk walk. I always have trouble with machines showing me my target heart rate 123 for fat loss it just doesn't want to display on the screen.

I know that breakfast and pwo meal should be two largest meals of the day. How does this apply to performing cardio on a empty stomach. PWO meal after cardio is the largest meal and what and when do u consider your breakfast meal.
