If the cardio is first thing in the morning may just a sugar free energy drink with no carbs. Caffinated water works great. Let your fat run you through that workout! Very effective.
If later in the day and you are doing lifting and aeobics, then a hour after a balaced meal that was 40% protein 30% complex carbes 30% friendly fats. DO you weight training first that way it will be the complex barbs pushing you through workout. By the time cardio comes around ussually 45 minutes later, most of your carbs and glycogen have been used for the weights so when you get your target heart to where it needs to be, you will be running on fat.
Keep in mind the above is for someone that want to increase lean and decread their fat percentage.
For performance it is totally different. Even in the way weights are used (if at all) High carb drinks that are a mix between complex and simple before and during the workout. Food before that type of workout, green pasta, asparagas (is great), mix ox bran and white rice, granola, OJ any kind of nonsugar carb drink (it will already have sucrose from the simple carbs.
