Awesome scho.

Right on, not a waste, just not as effective. The best cardio/training is when YOU will and can do it. If the morning doesn't work for you, don't despair, do it when YOU can. To be a bit cliché, just do it. However, the afternoon session will not be quite the same, because your body has stored plenty of glycogen in your liver and muscles all day...that will be used as energy during your workout. Only when you stop training will your body burn fat - hard concept to grasp, but that's how our bodies work - burn available sugar when under stress, burn fat when at rest.

Also, when I say empty stomach cardio it's a bit of a misnomer - don't just think of digested energy, but energy in your blood, muscles and liver. So what I really mean is depleted glycogen cardio - I have fasted all night - burning calories so I have depleted glycogen stores, thus lessening the available sugar to be used for energy.

Supplementation to enhance your workout and fat loss
My disclaimer – these are suggestions if you like what you hear try it or research some more. I know what has works for me, my clients and colleagues, I’m not looking to debate this.
To help fuel your workouts and help with thermogenisis you could pop some ECA or NYC base fat burners (ephedrine, caffeine, aspirin/norephedrine,yohimbe, caffeine) or a combination. Personally I like Universal's Animal Cuts or Nutrex Lipo-6, if you have ephedrine and like it, use to too.
Something a bit more unorthodox (from an insulated American point of view at least) that helps the body shuttle the fat. Acetyl-L-carnitine (aka ALC, aka ALCAR) is a compound derived from the amino acid, L-carnitine, and is produced in the human brain, liver, and kidneys by an enzyme called acetyl-L-carnitine-transferase. ALC facilitates the movement of a coenzyme into the mitochondria during fatty acid oxidation, a process essential for energy synthesis. The body does this, but slowly. The catch to supplementing here is you really need to use an injectable version - THIS IS NOT ILLEGAL. It's quite simple, digesting ALC is next to useless - the marketing of these products are based on the results of INJECTABLE use.

Obviously there are tons of workout schemes and diets to try, many of them will work, some better than others, some will work for you, some will not. I am not holding the miracle workout or diet; I have experience and like to share the things that have worked time and time again with various people, myself included.

Good Luck to everyone.

p.s. I started at 220 2 weeks ago, I am 215 now with 1 week of 5 sessions of AM cardio and a clean diet for 5 days. That's perfect as I do not intend to lose more than 2.5 pounds each week, since I want to maintain and even gain muscle while I cut - before you argue, yes you can maintain and even gain lean mass while cutting.
