They have proven fasted cardio does not elicit any more fat loss/burn.
Taking at least a protein shake aka protein pre workout was shown to prevent muscle loss.
If Have to eat something before I do anything or might as well not even train as I'll collapse on the floor lol.

Re: Empty stomach or no?
There have been tons of articles and studies done on this topic and truth be told, just about any article or study can be skewed to support any argument. There is plenty of information out there that supports this fasted cardio and tons that support the exact opposite. i would roll with whatever you feel works best for you.Learn your own body and what benefits it.

I'm on the boat with everyone else here. Sometimes I don't have a choice if I eat or don't due to my job, but have noticed when I do it in the evening I lose more weight.

Re: Empty stomach or no?
if you don't want to eat just have a apple. and cardio should always be done after your workout. during your workout you're body is breaking down the sugars and calories your body has stored, then when you hit cardio its burning all of it off.

Fasted cardio is the best method but not always attainable. I have a trick I use as well as some of my pro BB friends. Take BCAA's before your cardio. Your body will look to burn carbs first for energy then fats then protein. With no carbs to burn your body will burn stored bodyfat. The BCAA are just a safety net to make sure the cardio doesn't start breaking down muscle(protein)

Now my method was based on AM cardio. Other than that always do cardio after weight training when your body is depleted

Re: Empty stomach or no?
It all depend on the individual, I like cardio on empty stomach because my metabolism goes sky rocket and I lose a lot of fat. So what I would suggest is to give it a go for and week or two to find out how your body responds. I swear by it.
