IMO, you should separate cardio and weight training.

IMO, you should separate cardio and weight training.

In an ideal world yes you should do cardio abuot 8-12 hours before you do weights IE cardio at 7am weights at 5pm.... but second to this the most efficient way to do both would entire depend on your goals... if your looking to get cut then weight training before cardio 5x's a week and then HIIT 2x's a week and Steady state 3 times a week if your natty is an excellent approach but you have remember 2 things...

1. Cardio has the same effect as weight training in relation to nutrient absorption through insulin sensitivity up regulation.....

2. HIIT taxes your muscles in a similar way that weight training does.... so dont do HIIT after legs or heavy dead lifts.... or anything thats insanely taxing on your quads/posterior chain.....

Also the body NEEDS carbs/protein PWO for replenishment of glycogen and muscular repair ideally it should be a fast acting carb but I've been doing blended oatmeal/whey shakes as I am dieting and I find this give me the best results...
