FIT Cardio directly after lifting, and protein shake

[Deer]

I've read that cardio after lifting puts your body into fat burning mode (depletion of glycogen stores, etc). So I'm wondering since I drink my protein shake during lifting instead of just before or after, would your body not burn as much fat as if you had just finished lifting and started cardio on a somewhat empty stomach? The other option would be consuming the shake after cardio.

For what its worth, I usually lift, do a mile at 6:30 pace then abs then drink the protein shake

You know what burns fat?

Working out more than you eat while maintaining protein intake.

After lifting I have no energy for cardio

It probably makes no difference

Well I only work out 4-5 times per week, and I eat at least 4 times per day 7 days per week so that isn't possible.
