Calories look fine.

If you take BCAA's prior to cardio, you are no longer doing fasted cardio. There is no need for BCAA's prior to cardio.

I would also lower training volume, and keep reps in the range of 5 to 8; focusing on keeping good tension on the muscles.

I thought that taking bcaas before cardio helped not go into catabolism? Also wasn't sure if I should add 20 min after lifting of cardio but thought that may be overkill

BCAA's are amino acids, amino acids contain calories. BCAA's also cause insulin secretion, which you do not want when trying to release and oxidize free fatty acids during cardio.

You do not need BCAA's to prevent catabolism from cardio.
