You will get a lot of conflicting information on this, mainly since people have success with both.

When I do cardio, I will usually do do it in the morning. I will have 10g of branched chain amino acids (BCAA's) or a scoop of whey beforehand, then eat about a half hour afterwards. Seems to work for me.

Thanks how soon after a workout would you take whey protein? straight away?

I usually wait at least 30 minutes as your body is still in fat burning mode immediately following cardio.
