Post cardio food.

[EL GAUCHO]

Ok, so we're all clear now that post training we need to consume a liquid Protein/Dextrose mix.
What about post-cardio?

I usually wait 30 mins. to an hour following cardio and then resume eating normally (I'm in the bottom end of a cutting cycle).

 

[EL GAUCHO]

Do you always do this? Or just post cardio?
I'm also now cutting.

Just post cardio...

After lifting I immediately consume around 20g whey isolate in water combined with anywhere from 30 - 50g dextrose....

You don't need carbs post cardio, protein/fat is fine.

I do morning cardio ED, 30 minutes after I'm done I drink 50g whey and a Tbs of fish oil. You don't need the carbs after cardio...really don't need to replenish gylcogen. Post-workout is another story though. Cram the carbs/protein, and keep fat near zero.

 

[EL GAUCHO]

I think I'll wait an hour and go straight for some solid food post cardio then.
This falls nicely around lunch time.

I usually have carbs and protein post cardio
admitedly im not into gaining mass cos of my sport and i wanna stay at a certani weight class but i do find that post cardio, carbs are good for me cos they help me recover better than protein and fat (i've experimented with both)

i usually hit cardio in the morning and training at night so this is working for me. Just experiment and see what works best for your body. remember one mans bread is another man's poison or whatever the saying is
