When should I take them ?

[anthrax]

Let's say I'm doing some high intensity cardio for 45 min to 1 hour

I can ONLY eat egg whites before this session

How much before the cardio should I take those egg whites in order to prevent to much catabolism ?

how many whites?

still i only eat a white omlette if i'm doing cardio later, otherwise empty stomach and HITT.

Around 6-7 whites

I'm afraid "empty stomach and HITT" can be very catabolic

I don't think it would be terrible to eat them 45-1hour, depending on your metabolism, before cardio.

Before I go to lift I load up on Complex Carbs and Lean protein. Keeps me full of energy for the whole workout.

No problem
Everything is fine

I just want to avoid too much catabolism when doing cardio
Taking proteins (in the form of egg whites) should prevent that, but if those whites are still in the stomach, I guess that's useless

=> Protein should be taken early enough before the cardio session

 

[brunette]

you diet should have an optimal stream of protein constantly, so the egg white-waiting matter should be irrelevant

i would eaqt the 1-2 hours before cardio i was taking a scoop of protien 1 hour before my cardio and training sessions and had great results you dont need to do cardio on an empty stomach to loose fat remember fat lose is related to what you take in caloreie wise to how much you burn throught your day everyone is different and you need to find what works for you some people feel they get beter results on an empty stomach and some feel the need to eat something prior to cardio good lkuck hope this helps
