What to eat after morning cardio?
Hey, been cutting for the past 2 weeks and have lost five pounds so far. BTW, im 5'10" and 200 now. This morning I had my first 30 minute cardio session on an empty stomach. Afterwards, I got home and had no idea what to eat. So I had 4 scrambled eggs on a plain roll. I think the breakdown was like 24/33/?, not sure of the fat. But about 10 minutes after this meal I was super-hungry so had to make myself a protein shake. Is it normal to get this hungry after morning ardio or is my body just getting used to it. And if so, can some people give me some suggestions on what to eat afterwards.

you need food as soon as you wake up...if ur going to do cardio on an empty stomach make sure its low intensity if not you will b burning a good amount of muscle instead of fat...also if u eat before you do cardio you wont be as hungry afterwards

I'm 5'6" 140 lbs. In cutting from 150 lbs down to 140 lbs, I ate a 2,000 calorie 40/40/20 diet. I did fasted cardio 5 times a week and shed 10 lbs of fat in about a month with no obvious loss of muscle but *very* visible removal of fat. I did no weightlifting as I'm recovering from an injury.
