is protein powder only good for weight lifting workouts or also others such as cardio?

1. There great to drink before and after workouts because when you do cardio you lose alot of protein so it helps you gain more protein resulting in fat loss and not muscle loss and it's good for about anything
2. I don't think its good for anything. Get your protein power from real food. They add so much bad ingredients to whey protein and protein powder. Its not the worst thing for you. You could just drink a glass of milk. If you you want to drink it it is fine to drink after a cardiovascular workout. Simple sugars in fruit or I mean fruit as a whole would be a good nutrient for post workout of any kind.
3. Hi,Protein is good for cardio also it helps repair your muscles, try to include more resistance traning in your workouts. Why? Reason is simple, muscle is a great fat burner even at your resting metabolic rate means that you will burn more calories . Cardio only burns while you do it and once you stop, runing its not really doing much for you until the next day .So if you are looking to burn fat and want to make it easier to keep it off you must include resistance. Calorie intake is important but the basic rule is burn more calories than you eat to lose fat. So since 3500 calories equals to one pound of fat if you cut 500 calories daily from you daily intake or burn 500 calories more than you eat in a day. You can lose 1 pound a week. Hope this helped.
