I like to at least have some protein before training. If you can make a shake with some protein and some oats in it that should be sufficient to fuel your workout and prevent muscle breakdown.

Doing cardio on empty has been discussed a lot - check the sticky posts on cardio.

That is my regular training time, and depending what the goals are, depends how much, and what, to eat.
