What does your work out routine look like? Your cardio should last around 45min and should be done 2-3 times a week, depending on your goals and body type. One of stickys hits on this and says it takes approximatly 30min before you begin to burn fat.
Hope this helps. I'm fairly new also so the other guys should be able to help with more details.

If you add it all up it comes out to about 3k calories, 41%p 29%f 29%c
my workout routine is a lot of barbell work, bench/squat/lift/military press etc... also pull ups/dips. I also do specific shoulder & ab work.
I'm no expert, but from what i've read doing 45 mins of cardio 3 times a week is about an hour to much. I much prefer to do HIIT for 20 mins 3x a week doing sprints, but I'm open to suggestions. I always believed that the goal of doing cardio was to set your body up to burn fat throughout the day, not necessarily only while you're doing the cardio.
