best type of meal to be eaten after morning cardio?

[CLEMDOG]

got a question for you guys. Right now, as far as my diets concerned, I'm keeping my carb intake low-moderate with the meals with the highest amount of carbs, before and 2 meals after my workouts. All the other meals are fairly low carb.

I'm doing cardio about 2 days/week on the days that I dont lift, which is wed and sun. I usually do cardio first thing in the morning before I eat anything. What i need to know is what the nutrient ratio or amts should be after the cardio session?

I'm a little confused, should I continue with low carb/high protein to prevent an insulin spike or should I eat a moderate-high carb/high protein meal to help replenish my muscle glycogen stores after the cardio?

Try some Fresh Red Snapper, it always works for me!!!

yeah, both of those choices are great, but what I want to know is should my carb intake be low after the cardio to prevent the insulin spike or should i have a moderate to high carb intake to replenish the muscle glycogen stores?

btw- I'm not on a super strict diet right now, just trying to keep meals low-moderate carb to stay lean.

for ex. after I got home today after my cardio I ate my favorite meal:

1 can tuna with mayo
1 reg. yogurt
1 string cheese

so the nutrients equal about:
- 48-50grms protein
- 45grms carbs
- 15grms fat
