    I tend to do weights and cardio on different days

    when I do either I take myself to the limit so there is usually no energy left after I do one to do the other

    If anything I may probably start with weights first and then do cardio..

    It will make virtually no difference. I prefer to do them on separate days for quality of training and focus.

    When they fit in your calorie allowance. You are over thinking it a bit - hit your calorie goal consistently, train well - the rest is just sweating the small detail.

    Caveat: Unless you are doing intense endurance cardio for 2 hours or more then you will need to fuel properly before and during.

    What @sijomial said. :smile: I do cardio (walking usually) then weights on a focused area (arms, legs, etc), but it depends on what you like to do, and what feels best for you as well.
