I continue to hear that you should really get something...anything healthy...in your stomach quickly upon rising to kick-start your metabolism.
Then there is the advice I see more often than not to fuel yourself for HIIT and finally the recovery aspect and waiting again after your workout for a period of time before fuelling.

I keep hearing this more and more that morning fast is the way to go, at least for us cutting fat. I have a coffee or two before the HIIT otherwise empty stomach. The show did have us on wake up at 5:30 am and workout at 6:00, then breakfast around 7:30.
My current trainer has me on carb nite and with that its recommended to keep a fast until at least 3hrs after waking up. I am just starting the book for carb nite and I would like to understand the logic in all this, but the common thinking for as long as I can remember is empty stomach before workout for fat burning, eat or shake before weight lifting. Early morning ideal for fat burning, weight lifting around 4-6pm.
