You are running a risk of losing muscle if doing cardio after weights. I also wouldn't do cardio before weights either as you want to save all your energy for your weights session. I usually seperate my cardio and weights 6 hours apart.

if you must do cardio and workouts together do cardio after your workout, but drink a protein shake after your workout, before your cardio to help preserve muscle and prevent catabolism

Then he'll just burn up the proteins instead of fat

not true, your body doesn't like to use animo acids as an energy source unless absolutely necessary as they are hard to break down in comparison to fat and glycogen, a pure protein shake will not be used for energy but the amino acids will be shuttled into the muscle cells to aid recovery while the body uses fat as it's main energy source for the cardio
