    Right now I am doing a lean bulk. I'm really only doing cardio to keep some excess fat off while bulking. I am also running 500mg TEST E per week. Should I still not eat carbs after running late at night?

    define "running"? If your cardio sessions are real intense (ex. sprints), imo a pro/carb meal is def. needed. If late night cardio session is low intensity (between 60-70% MHR) then leave the carbs out and do a pro/fat meal following.

    Yeah when I say "running" it is more like jogging. Not sprinting or anything to intense.

    Good deal...you should invest in a heart rate monitor if you do a lot of running/jogging and make sure you heart rate doesn't get above 70% MHR. 60-70% MHR is the zone you want to be to burn fat and spare muscle (of course, w/ a proper diet).

    How much does a good heart monitor go for? Where could I get one?

    Yeah Polar is a good brand. I bought just the basic polar monitor off of ebay for like $25 used. I would checkout ebay and looked for a used one...should be able to find a good deal.
