I bought more of the supplements that Atkins recommends, including CoQ10 and L-Carnitine. The CoQ10 says to take it with a meal. The L-carnitine says to take it on an empty stomach and that it works best when taken with CoQ10. So does that mean taken at the same time? With or without food?

And how empty is my stomach supposed to be to take something on an empty stomach? I never seem to go very long without eating on this plan.

Does it make much difference if I just take all my supplements at once rather than spreading them out over the course of the day?
