to do cardio before lifting? Do to my current circumstances being with out a car. I am going to have to walk to the gym in the am it is about 40 minute walk. I lift twice a day once in the am and then in the pm. Will it greatly effect my lifting?
How bad is it….

Eat enough to compensate for the loss of calories if your goal is adding weight or strength.
Eat enough to compensate for the loss of calories if your goal is cutting so you don't fall into too great a defecit.
Be sure you don't tire yourself out in any way that it hinders your training.
In short - probably not.

I should have stated I will be cutting.

As I said, just calculate how much you're burning, and how much you need to compensate. Eat too few calories, lose too much muscle. Eat too many, lose to little fat. Find a "sweet spot" and stick to it.
It's better to be more active and eat more to make up for it, rather than to simply eat less. So what you're doing will only help. This is due to better glycogen upload, nutrient partitioning, nutrient absorption, etc.

As far as overall calorie balance, as was already mentioned, just figure out how many extra calories you'll be burning and adjust your intake accordingly to maintain the desired cutting deficit.
Even (maybe even 'especially') when cutting, you need to ensure adequate calories around workouts. Given that it's not an intense activity (something like pre-workout HIIT would be a different story, obviously), as long as you make sure that you eat enough to have carbs/protein available for energy and repair during the workout, you'll be fine. Just have a large meal before heading out the door or take a shaker bottle with whey and ground-up oats for a quick pre-workout meal that you can drink 15-30 minutes beforehand without digestion causing problems (take a water bottle along and drink it on the way, if you want).

get a BF w/a car...
i really dont think walking will have any effect on your lifts at all... its low-impact & your HR will be below 70-80% of your max. I thinkyoull be ok

There are benefits to a higher frequency protocol.
You can get a summation effect from it.
Acute effects from each workout. Temporarily increased IGF-1 and testosterone, also helps to offset elevated cortisol levels.
Better potential loading by managing the CNS. It's easier to do ten sets over two sessions, rather than one.
Better nutrient partitioning.
"If you take two workouts with the same volume and the same caloric bulking diet, the more frequent one will create less "wasted calories" (less fat) and perhaps facilitate more efficient upload of glycogen than the less frequent one." - Jules
Just some food for thought.

so first question: are you in shape enough to walk there and not be tired? (serious question...that has relevance to your answer)
if you can handle it, no problem, then your answer should be simply..."that would be a warmup, and have little to no effect on my workout."
case closed....
since you arent in the final days where each calorie matters, then a little over or under won't make a difference. burn a little more, eat a little more, or not. as long as you are losing at the right pace for your goal. if not you can adjust up or down accordingly.

Yeah I saw it more as a warm up just that a normal warm up to me is like 20 minutes max.bignate73 said:
