I work out in the morning, however I seem to have better workouts in the evenings, personally. I think you should just go when you have the most energy and enthusiasm, and like you said that's in the morning. I read once that working out in the morning on an empty stomach is prime for burning fat, however I'm not an expert at all. If I work out in the morning I normally have a protein shack, wait about 30 mins then go to the gym.
Experts say you should NEVER exercise in a fasted state, cardio or weights. all you do is increase muscle catabolism because you're starving first thing in the morning.
and you want a carb drink AFTER lifting weights, not before.
and do cardio AFTER weights, never before. and ideally, don't even do them on the same day.
