eat after cardio?

[ziggz]

Hey guys.. when you're trying to lose weight but retain muscle, do you take your whey shake and carbs right after your pwo cardio session or do you let some time elapse (maybe 30 mins) before taking pwo nutrients so your body continues burning bodyfat (hopefully not muscle)?

I eat immediately after cardio. No shakes tho if I am cutting, or ever really for that matter. Always go home where my whole food meal is waiting after cardio...I love living 30 seconds from my gym.

I take isopure protein and bcaa. then eat like 20 minutes later.

I was always told that after cardio your body is metabolizing calories at a high rate and to wait on eating so your body uses your fat calories. I always waited 45 minutes after i got of the elyptical to eat, worked well for me, but these guys might be right
