I see what you mean. One word of caution: if you do any high intensity cardio, your body will use fuel from your muscles as it will look for sugar, won't find it and then look for protein sources.
The morning cardio should be very low intensity. Most people don't understand what low is and don't measure it with a heart monitor.
I refer you to the chart mentioned in a previous post on this thread. If your max heart rate is, say ~170, your threshold moving from fat/sugar burning to mainly sugar is about ~155. You would need to stay closer to 140-145 (or even lower) to be safe as far as a fuel source is concerned. Also, the more you train your body to process fat in these ranges, the more it will do so when you jump to higher ranges.
I can't say enough about heart monitors and understanding your personal training zones. Most people work out WAY too hard and get little benefit.
