Diet on Cardio Only Days

[gbrice75]

just did cardio--now doin protein shake and oats--i eat right after

Right after as in immediately? Same as you would for a PWO meal?

To me this seems kind of counter-productive... I certainly could be wrong but wouldn't you want to remain in a 'fat burning' mode as long as possible? If you're eating (especially oats/carbs) right after, aren't you just fueling your body with immediate energy vs. the body using stored fat?

within 15 min--prob been up for an hr before i do cardio(i like to drink coffe in the am)--they say at a moderately low bf(which i am) that u need to have carbs after cardio so ur body doesnt use muscle(haaving less bf to burn)--in ur case i could see having a pro/fat meal to let the burning process to continue---that being said, thru my cutting diet i ate carbs after cardio and it didnt seem to matter----and unless ur doing hiit cardio i dont see the burning process continuing anyway
