I agree that if things are working for her, then it's probably not necessary to change her routine. It sounds like she's running at low enough exertion levels that she can burn fat, which is fine. If she really wants to up her output, then she's going to need to fuel before the runs to optimize her performance. Doesn't have to be solids, it could be an energy shake or something. But the bottom line is that she's either achieving what she wants or she's not, and if she's not, she needs to find a way to fuel pre-run that works for her, such that she hits the road feeling good.
