I'm no doc but I think those are just blood and urine tests.  They usually don't require fasting, but most fasting is always "no food or liquid after midnight".  So why don't you do that and when you get up in the morning, call your doc's office first or the blood lab and ask if you are supposed to fast.  If not, eat breakfast!
