That is a very common question. Whatever you do, you should never workout on an empty stomach. That is similar to driving a car with no fuel.
As soon as you wake up, you need to chug a serving of whey protein shake. Eat one cup of plain oatmeal along with a glass of fat-free milk. These will give you plenty of energy for your morning workout.
If one cup of oatmeal makes you feel full, reduce that by half. You should never exercise on a full stomach. Oatmeal is not the only choice because you can have any other types of whole-wheat grain such as brown rice, whole-wheat bread, etc.
Some people even go into the gym after eating one fruit, but I don't recommend that because if you feel hungry, you will feel very weak to lift your best.
Stay away from starchy carbs such as candy and soda because they make you feel tired. Some people will tell you starchy carbs give you energy. Do not listen to them!
If this morning workout is only cardio to burn fat, then you should not eat anything other than drinking a serving of whey protein shake. If you eat, then your cardio will only burn off what you just ate. Calories from protein are the easiest to burn, and you don't want to do cardio on a completely empty stomach because you might faint! You will probably burn out as soon as you start because you have no fuel.
