I’ve never done this before, I always waited or worked out with minimal food in my stomach. Is this going to throw me off or should I just not freak out... I was kinda in a rush. I did mostly cardio and situps/squats

If it didn't bother you (some people feel nauseous or bloated if they exercise too soon after eating), it's not a problem. Don't freak out.1

Why would you freak out? Did it affect your workout? I eat while I'm working out all the time. As long as it doesn't upset your stomach I don't see the issue.6

I usually eat a little something about half an hour before a workout. It's just fine. It doesn't matter when you eat calories, if that was your concern.2

Hey, how is it going OP?
Last I remember about half a month or so ago you were having real trouble eating sufficient calories to stop losing weight and were sliding into underweight. Have you managed to increase your caloric intake yet?
Many people find it easier to balance things out by reducing or eliminating cardio so that they don't have to increase their food intake even more to compensate for the extra calories they spend during exercise.
In terms of fasted cardio vs non, most recent studies that I have seen seem to indicate no significant benefit to one over the other, certainly not a significant enough one to over-ride your personal preference.

"Not freak out" is the correct response to something totally normal.7
