A.M. Eating and Training Question

ad

Back in gym steady for first time in few years. Ive only dibbledabbled for the last three years, but reached a point of clarity where I cant let myself go any longer.

I plan on splitting my workouts up and doing cardio in a.m. (5 days per wk)and weights (4days per wk) later in the day.
I have done this several times over the years, especially when trying to get in good shape in short time (6-8 wks)
So I actually work out about 8-9 times per week.
Question is- If I my schedule makes me lift in a.m.- first thing in the A.M. what is a good pre-workout meal to get me through?
How about if I am only doing cardio in a.m.- what is good preworkout meal?
Lastly- what If I am doing both in same workout extending workout to 1.5hrs?

Just want to have enough energy to complete and not fade and not be too full.

I hit the gym at the crack of ass in the a.m. and start the day with a PRWO shake and EAT a meal PWO. I do my cardio PRWKO and love it, hrtrate is UP and oxygen flowing. Works for me : )

Mass is correct, cardio on an empty stomach is a good burner
