Everyone talks about post workout nutrition, but I don't see anything mentioned about post cardio nutrition. Especially for those of us who do their cardio first thing in the morning, what should our post workout meal include? Is it the same as our post workout? Thanks guys.

I have wondered the same thing. I usually do cardio mid day. after I would think high protien, mild carb, no fat would be optimum. Shake or tuna , chicken, A little brown rice or somthing like that."There is no such thing as big pussies just little dicks. If it is loose just keep packing dick to it."

i wait roughly an hour after cardio and have my homemade gainer/mrpDo you know where one builds action, stamina and guts? In the gym under the iron day after day, forever without fail or excuses or grumbling, that’s where. It’s true. I read a study somewhere and that’s what it said, really.
There’d be fewer battles, less drugs and less crime and more happy moms and dads if we all lifted weights… let’s face it. In what recent medical journal was I reading that?

you are still in "fat burning" mode.......but i really don't know why u wait an hour. I guess there's no "true" explanation. For me it depends on how i feel. If i feel very tired afterwards, i'll intake some moderate carbs/high protein. No starches though. Some dextrose/maltodextrin mix"We are born small and weak"
"We die small and weak"
"It's all up to you how you wanta look in between!"

Your nutrition post cardio is dependant on the intensity and duration you've used during the session. The same applies to your workouts. Unfortunately, the majority of peole take in the same post workout shake every workout, regardless of whether they've worked their biceps or their legs.
Getting back to the question here's a general example:
10-12 minute HIIT session: a 20-50 gram mixture of isolate and whey with 15 grams of dextrose and 15 grams of maltodextrin. Or you could skip the maltodextrin and just take 30 grams of dextrose (creatine, glutamine etc are optional)
20-35 minute high density workout (above 75% of your MHR): 20-50 grams mixture of whey and isolate with 15 grams of dextrose
45-60 minutes of low denisty (65% and below, "fat burning" mode) cardio: Same, minus the carbs
Note, I haven't taken into account what ones training and overall diet is structured like.
