Reply With QuoteWell it might hurt your gains a little doing cardio on the same day, especially right nect to it. But What I would do is your training then cardio and have your shake afterwards, with a sufficient enough amount of carbs. Have your post-wokout meal an hour after that.
You could try taking whey after training with a little bit of dextrose to fuel your cardio, then having some oats after cardio. But its probably easier to do it the other way.

Need help with meal timing
I have a question about when to time my meals when I do cardio and weights in the same time span. I am currently bulking and I want to incorporate cardio 2-3 times a week for about 30 minutes to minimize fat gain. The only time I can do the cardio though is right after my morning weight lifting session. Previously, I had eaten a solid meal and then gone lift an hour later. Right after finishing my last set I drank a shake with oatmeal, whey, and a banana. Then, an hour later I would eat my PPWO meal consiting of chicken breast, brown rice, and brocolli. If I want to do cardio now as well, where should I put it in? Should I lift weights drink my shake and then hop on the bike for 30 minutes (light-moderate intensity) and then eat my meal 30 minutes after cardio or something else?

Doing your weights and cardio together is fine. You have a window of 1 hour for your post workout so doing 30 mins. of cardio after your weights you are still fine. Just make sure you drink your PWO shake as soon as you can after your cardio and then consume a real meal 2 hours later.

you can try popping some bcaa's once your done lifting before you start cardio to help your gains a little, or you if you can stomach it, try and have a shake inbetween. Although that might not work too well based on what cardio your doing. As jodi said, you do have ample time pwo to get in your shake, just make sure your not doing more than 30-45 mins cardio.
