Meal after cardio
I've been doing cardio on an empty stomach in the morning and been drinking a protien shake and easting some PB. Basically a pro/fat meal which has been advised. But in the cutting sticky it says to eat a pro/carb meal after cardio. So which is it: pro/carb or pro/fat meal after cutting?

I have always had better results with using carb/pro meals first (45mins after cardio) but other like to have a fat/pro after cardio to continue lyposis. I have tried both and prefer the carbs. Many however have found that a fat/pro meal works best. It something that you have to try for a month or 2 and see how you react.

After a hard workout your glycogen stores (energy in muscle) will either be greatly decreased or depleated. If you don't have the proper amount of glycogen (which comes from carbs) in your muscles, your body utilizes protein stores for energy, protein synthesis then increases 3x (you need protein for muscle repair, so this is not a good thing). After a hard workout your body will absorb nutrients at a much greater rate (within the hour), this is the best time to stack up on carbs to replenish glycogen stores. Protein is still essential for muscle repair, so i agree w/ dalcowbag (just thought i'd bust a nerd on you so you'd understand the reasoning behind the decision). Go w/ the carb/pro meal post-workout.

Listen to the homogay........ he speaks the truth
Honestly I don't it really matters either way as long as you are waiting about 30-45 minutes after cardio to have a pro/carb meal. Just make sure to pop some R-ALA with the meal and you should be good to go.
