The general consensus amongst gym rats that cardio should be done first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach. Then you can do your lifting in the afternoon.

I provided sources for both points of view, and some that just refuse to make up their mind.
Just remember one thing - Dedicated people are called fanatics by lazy people.
