    just because some random internet article says so ,i could show you various internet article that say the opposite like this one Cardio in the Morning on an Empty Stomach
    First of all it’s a myth that cardio in the morning on an empty stomach is the best way to burn fat. This isn’t just my opinion but the most knowledgeable trainers and exercise experts agree that cardio in the morning on an empty stomach is not good for you body.

    The myth purveyors will tell you that in the morning that you have low glycogen stores and energy levels are low because you haven’t consumed any carbohydrates, so then you will tap into your fat stores.

    This is TOTALLY wrong. The complete opposite happens.

    Why is it wrong? Fat burning doesn’t occur during cardio exercise, but about two hours after. Instead your body will look at your tasty muscles for energy meaning. Good-bye muscles.

    So unless your goal is to become scrawny and lose muscle then by all means do cardio in the morning.
    Its also common sense not to do cardio on an empty stomach. You won’t have a satisfactory amount of energy meaning decreases performance which means less gains and poor results. And if you think about it, your body has just fasted for eight hours and it needs something to eat to refuel itself.

    Chris Aceto is just some random article writer? haha. What does that make you?

    I've done very well on fasted cardio, in fact I did a cut on intermittent fasting, I managed to get from 15%@94kgs to around 87kgs @10% in 9 weeks, all my lifts went up, my quads and arm measurements stayed the same. Strength stayed same on almost all lifts. All natural. Look up lean gains, they get great results with a 16hr fast every day.

    You're somewhat correct, though a little vague.

    Carb ingestion does effect fat oxidation at low intensity's (25-50% VO2 max), but it MAY reduce effect fat oxidation at higher intensity's (63-68% VO2 max) in untrained subjects, but do NOT reduce fat oxidation in trained subjects for at least the first 80-120 minutes of exercise.

    At the established intensity level of peak fat oxidation (~63% VO2 max), carbohydrate increases performance without any suppression of fat oxidation in trained subjects.

    Carbohydrate during exercise spares liver glycogen, which is among the most critical factors for anticatabolism during hypocaloric & other conditions of metabolic stress. This protective hepatic effect is absent in fasted cardio.

    My opinion from the above: FASTED cardio does not need to be done at all.
