AM workouts before you eat forces your body to use storage fat for energy instead of readily available glycogen. If your goals are fat loss and not strength, lifting first thing in the AM (cardio too) is a widely used method.
Personally I like lifting in the afternoon after digesting a nice big lunch. If I lift in the AM, I have a breakfast that includes oatmeal for carbs and protien.-Nino

Got to feed the machine man. If you trained at 5 pm with a few good meals and snacks in the belly you would see a BIG difference!
