Treat post cardio nutrition the same as you would PWO nutrition. They are one and the same. Cardio increases insulin sensitivity the same way strength training does if not better.

Just to expand upon Chasec's question, should something be eaten/drank between weights and cardio if we go straight from lifting to cardio?

I advise against drinking anything imediately pre cardio 'cuz it will cause an insulin release that will inhibit lipolisis. The key is to have propper pre WO nutrition before strength training. If you're doing cardio imediately following, it's a non issue.

nice; i've been on the right track. my pre-workout meal never really varies (cup of oats, yogurt, whey) but after cardio i tend to use only whey protein in water, when after a weight session i use vitamin d milk for the added carbs/fat/kcal

How about BCAAs before/during cardio to help save muscle?

i'm a big believer in "Nutrient Timing," so I usually follow up every workout with at least a small amount of a homemade sports drink that I sweeten with dextrose and maltodextrin.

Sorry did you just say BCAA are anabolic steroids? - 01-15-2008, 02:36 AM
Unless your on a real, real serious cut, I would have some simple carbohydrates along with a shake. An apple/orange/banana will do wonders at restoring your glycogen levels to prime an effective recovery.

i have a normal meal, just like after a strength workout. i'm not much of a believer in spiking myself with simple sugars post workout.
