dont take glutamine.it is converted to glucose in the liver, and will only hamper fat loss. you should take some bcaa's, or some pure protein..such as isopure, or just eat soem eggw hites. what you want is to have some free floating amino acids in your blood stream, and nothing else(besides stimulants if you care to add them in).
heres the reason why
when doign any type of physical activity, our body uses a combination of fats and glucose for energy. the lower intensity the exercise, the greater the percentage of fats being burned, the higher the intensity of the exercise, the greater the percentage of glucose being burned. if you have any glucose or fats floating in your blood stream, you will use these for eneergy before you use any stored glucose(muscleglycogen), or stored fat(bodyfat). so you dont want any free floating "energy nutrients"(carbs or fat) in your blood stream when you trying t burn directly into bodyweight. and ideally, you want to burn mostly body fat, and as little glucose as possible. so lower intensity works best for burnign the most body fat, and the least amount of glucose. but you can only burn a MAJORITY fats..you will still be using some glucose for energy during your cardio NO MATTER WHAT. you cant stop your body from using glucose..it always will be burning at least some. and in the morning, you glycogen stores are pretty low, so once you have burned all the way through your glycogen stores, you will be left withonly one option for glucose demands= converting amino acids into glucose to be used as energy. now, just like always, you body is going to use any available nutrients in the blood stream before it uses any bodyweight(muscle tissue), so having some free floating amino acids in your blood stream while doing morning cardio will prevent your body from diving into muscle for glucose demands, but will not prevent or slow down your fat burning in the slightest, as long as you only consume a small amount of amino's, and you dont have ANY carbs or fats with them. this is why you want a pure protein source, and nothing else(besides some stimulants).. and like i said, glutamine is always converted into glucose in the liver..so consuming some glutamin will spike insulin levels, decrease free floating glucagon, decrease cyycular amp, completely halt lipogensis, and put a huge dampering on the effectiveness of your morning cardio.
