My usual weight-lifting workout consists of about 1-2 hours then I immediately do 1 hour of cardio.

I don't take any supplemental protein or anything like that but I know I'm losing some possible muscle gain by doing that much cardio directly after that much weights. Would it be a good idea to invest in protein shakes and take one after I finish my weight lifting workout (before I start my cardio) or should I just try to break my workouts up so that I only do one at a time (i.e.gym twice a day, once for weights/once for cardio)?

I want to continue losing fat and gaining muscle but i know its going to take more work. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks a lot!

Cardio workouts before weight lifting? Ok so i head that doing cardio before weight lifting is a bad idea and it's much better to do cardio after because while doing your cardio you burn all your carbs and fat, therefore you don't have much energy for weight lifting. I have been doing cardio before weights for quite a while now and don't really want to change my routine i've kept so traditional for 3monthes. But im willing to change if it benefits that much. 2 questions i have are these: 1. So say i weight lift first then drink my protein shake with about 40g of carbs, then i go to do intense cardio, won't i burn the protein and carbs in this cardio workout? or will the protein still build my muscle from weight lifting? 2. So say I do some intense cardio first. Is it possible for me to refuel my body by eatting fast carbs (simple sugars) after that cardio to fuel for my weight lifting workouts so that i can workout out to my potential?
