Well, that debate has been going on for years now, and as you can see, it can get a bit heated. With your stated goals, I would suggest a couple of choices. 1. Do some cardio in the AM, as CT in the article suggested,after a small breakfast, to keep the catabolism down, or 2. keep it on empty, in the AM, just limit the days, say 3 days/week. Also, look at the chart towards the end of the article as George suggested, and it sounds like you're into the OK to do it category.

: Wow, after years of reading that cardio in the morning is the
: greatest thing for burning fat, this article was like getting
: hit with an 18 wheeler! I'm more confused now than ever on when
: I should do my cardio, and whether doing it in the morning is
: hurting me more than helping! The only other time would be after
: my workout, and I've read similar articles that this is the
: worst time as well because my muscles need to recover after
: weight session and I need protein ASAP and cardio after working
: out would be like going backwards, etc. The main reason I
: switched to mornings was the fact that I wasn't sure if it was a
: good idea doing cardio after working out because by the time I
: finished my cardio, I was reaaalllyy depleted and I didn't want
: to hurt my recovery process, however right now my primary goal
: is more towards fat loss. Any suggestions on which of the 2,
: both work for me really but I want to try which would best work
: for fat loss with minimal muscle loss and maximum recovery!
