I do a light cardio workout in the morning (for now) while I'm still fasting. When should I eat after working out? Does it matter if I eat right after or is waiting another hour and then eating better?

    Breakfast...

    It doesn't really matter when you eat after a workout outside of more advanced training protocols.

    Eat when you are hungry. Nutrient timing creates such a miniscule difference that it isn't worth considering unless you are an elite athlete.

    Whenever you want. I do not at all light fasted cardio three mornings a week. Sometimes I eat right after and sometimes I eat an hour after with that hour factoring in time to shower, get ready, and get to my favorite place for bagels.
