I didn't want to start a new thread, so I figured that posting this here made some sense.

I've been cutting for a while and just guessing I'm probably under 20% body fat. Its not entirely where I want to be, but its not what it use to be so I'm happy with that. Now I'm going to be go on a bulking phase for a couple of weeks. My dilemma is I've gotten in the habit of waking up and going to the gym to do cardio (usually HIIT) on an empty stomach. I don't want to give that up. Would it effect me gaining mass a lot or would it just be a minor thing?

I don't want to give it up because I feel I'd just be completely drained for the day and I wouldn't want that having to sit through college classes all day. Any input would be great. I haven't started "bulking" yet so I don't have much details about how many calories and such I'm consuming. I seem to have good diet knowledge so getting the right kind of calories should not be a problem. It the inclusion of cardio I'm concerned about.
