hello name is erin im new to this site and just have a question about cardio.
when i get up in the morning i do an hour of interval cardio and afterwards i do weights ect. after that workout i usually eat a cup of 1% cottage cheese a cup of v8 low sodium and a cup of low fat activa yogurt during the day i consume alot of protein and vegies then at night before i go to bed i do 30 min of cario not inerval just regular cardio i dont do weights or anything after, after this workout i have another cup of cottage cheese or a beer if i feel.
should i be eating after a workout that is just cardio?
and is this too much cardio?
i usually eat a fair bit during the day, not heavy foods, cant live without beer thats the worst i do.
daily cals is around 1200.
im also a female.
so if anyone has advice for me please get to me whenever you can.
thank you!

Firstly I'd be inclined to say, you're doing too much Cardio. I'd do it once a day, and look to increase cals a bit, to about 1,600.
I think with cals at current levels, and all the Cardio and weights you'e doing Metabolism is being affected and muscle mass may be compromised.
Yes you should eat after Cardio. Bloodsugar is low, so simple Carb is best, like a Scoop of Protein powder for example, which usually has something like Maltodextrin in it. I'd do that instead of the C C.

intrigued by the user name....
as bossman said too much cardio and go for once a day at most...the point of interval training is to use as much intensity (speed and/or resisitance) as you can meaning you shouldn't be able to ado it for longer than 20mins...if doing an hour than your not doing "real" interval training...do wts before cardio...eat before working out if your not...more cal's as well...more proper food too such as solid protein, veg, dalad, fruit and water...no beer before bed ez, c'mon dear your burning cal's than putting empty on'es back in which doean't make sense and won't get you anywhere...always eat after working out whatever you do
