i usually have dark matter post workout...but post cardio my dad was telling me that to optimize the effects of the cardio do not eat for one hour post cardio...does anyone know if this is true i usually will have some whey with half a scoop waxy maize...and if true would it still apply to fasted cardio
 
I personally still do a shake post-cardio. The benefits of the shake are higher then the benefits of an extra hour of a slightly increased heart rate and the fat burning that will come from it.
 
I do HIIT and I wait about 30 min after I finish and have 2 servings of extend with about 5 grams bulk EAA powder and some extra leucine and then I take a shower then eat I use AP so about 15 min after I take the AP I eat breakfast and I can always tell the next morning when I wake up I look so much leaner after the previous days morining HIIT cardio so I say just experiment with it and find what works for you
 
Typically fasted cardio (~12 hours without eating) glycogen stores will still abundant enough to sustain moderate intensity lasting about an hour. If you eat, either the carbohydrates (simple) will be immediately used as a substrate for ATP resynthesis or used to replenish your glycogen stores and blood glucose (complex carbohydrates). The main thing is kcals in Vs kcals burned.
