On a recent Dr. Oz Telecast, he emphatically recommended that individuals (who want to lose weight) should exercise first thing in the morning. His rationale was too simplistic. Here is the link to his TV show that featured him talking about it. I think it was around the 4 minute mark on the video that he talks about it.
Listen to what the authors of "Nutrient Timing for Peak Performance" (Copyright 2010) have to say about this, and I quote:
"The stored energy in your liver is mostly used up while you are sleeping to fuel breathing, your heart, liver, and kidneys. If you exercise in the morning without fueling first, glucagon will be sending signals to get energy. Since liver stores of energy are low, your body's next stop is to burn PROTEIN and fat. Eating even 25 grams of carbohydrate can help you fuel your morning training without breaking down muscle mass to get it done."
