early morning pre-(HIIT)workout meal

[krazy_ryan]

I am going to start a HIIT workout 3 days per week in the morning (and weights on 3 other days). I wake up around 6:15am and I'm at the gym by 7. I need advice on a preworkout meal which can be digested fast which will maximize the positive fat burning effects of HIIT. Needless to say I wish to retain as much LBM as possible. I've read that a glutamine+whey+dextrose+creatine shake is good, which goes against the whole "cardio on an empty stomach" thing, but I guess HIIT isn't your normal CV workout anyway.

What advice can you give for this early morning preworkout meal? Will taking an ECA stack with this meal negate the benefits of ECA?

Everyone feels different about HIIT because it's alot more estraneous (sp?) that normal cardio. Personally, I would just take some BCAA's before your HIIT, that should prevent catabolism. I would also follow the session with a dextrose +whey shake.
