These above reasons are why you should always log what you eat then you know what adjustments to make rather than haphazardly doing things.
as far as the maltidextrose that's what I use as it's dirt cheap and acts fast, if you look at most post workout drinks thay usually have a fast acting carb in them or recommend mixing with some sort of juice, (simple carb) same thing.

okay, I feel like splitting a few hairs here.
and definitely keeping this light and forward.
I was focusing on his "working out on an empty stomach' burns for more him he should continue this. Not only this, but he should wait at least an hour after his cardio before eating, this will keep his metabolism burning this excess fat/energy. Once he eats the first bite of food or has a PWO, his body is going to actually "click" into burning that just consumed food for energy. Goal here is to get rid of fat, and get healthy. With this goal in mind, I would continue what works for him. Now.. if we get to a point he can NOT do cardio in the morning due to low fuel/energy, then yes, time to prime the pump and hit the gym.
But you can not do both, putting food into your system and hitting the gym will burn that food you just ate, not that fat tire around your waist..... not as fast. ...this is the splitting hair.
