yes post workout if you're doing cardio the same day, immediately after your wo down your whey, then do your cardio. after your cardio get home and mix up some pasta or something within the hour after your done.

Hey hes cutting. I think. which means you need to watch your carbs.I know the rerasoning behind getting them in after the w/o but be careful while you are cutting

watch those carbs, but i agree with kirk, add some meatballs in there, i dunno about for carbs, but more for protein.

As an alternate opinion, perhaps you could sip half post-workout and half post-cardio.

Make sure your meal timing is planned correctly. As carbs are what fuel your workout, make sure you're replenishing glycogen and phosphagens, while maintaining muscle tissue from catabolizing post workout. Keep sessions short but intense to employ a heightened metabolism thus resulting in using fat to reach energy demands.

Imo, but not a matter of fact, whey is essential after both types of training.

Keep carbs fibrous on a cut, with moderate complex carbs. Pasta having close to 100g/serving isn't your best choice. Just my thoughts though.

I personally take my whey after I am through in the gym.wether after cardio or my w/o.No way i could drink it then run for 45 mins.But i will get a shake and start drinking it before I tan so i will get it in immediately after cardio

I have a question when it comes to do drinking your post work out whey protein and then doing your post work out cardio. Wouldn't you want to drink it post cardio, else your body would burn that instead of fat during your cardio (if you drink it immediately after you put your weight down from the last set)? Thanks, I currently drink my creatine after my weight training which is just before my cardio, and then after the cardio I will drink my whey protein but maybe I should change this around.

keep it like it is bro.I really thinks its best to drink it after the cardio.Your cardio wouldnt necessarily burn it instead of fat cause hell its not really absorbed yet but I still think its best that way.

also there's always that chance of pukin it up, which you could still have another shake afterwards, but you wanna be efficient as possible
