    I take my stack like 15 min b4 cardio. After cardio you want to consume real food (not just a pro shake). I recommend egg whites (i eat like 8-10) and 1/2 cup of oatmeal. good luck.

    You can do either. I eat a pro/fat 30 min after AM cardio and it works well for me.

    I eat a pro/carb meal 15-20 mins. after cardio.

    Lipolysis only continues a short time after unless you are in ketosis (which you won't be) so you don't have to wait too long to eat.

    Whether its a protein/carb or a protein/fat meal after your cardio does not really matter...whats important is your total macros throughout the day, the combination of your foods and more importantly the timing of your meals.

    Like SC, I personally prefer to replenish my glyocogen levels following a cardio session. Either meal is acceptable though for your goals.

    I'd add a 5 gram serving of l-glutamine in water to your pre-cardio stack. This would slow the catabolic effects pwo...especially if you wait 45 minutes to eat.
