Ok my questions is what is the best fuel to consume before and after a work out for maximum weight loss and muscle building?

I get confused weather I should eat protien before or after a work out? Is it better to eat carbs before a cardio workout?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Carbs with some protein before working out (think peanut butter on whole wheat bread or hard boiled eggs), and then protein afterwards. Be careful with protein bars though- if it tastes like a candy bar, it's a lot like a candy bar. Kashi is one of the best I think.
