I've tried all of the approaches (..fasted cardio first thing in the morning, two-a-days, post-workout cardio, etc.), and each approach has it's pluses and minuses.

Great thanks. I'll stick to cardio post workout for a while to see how it goes. I just climb on the stair master. I'll be honest, I HATE cardio, so I usually only last 10 minutes before stopping. Not because I'm tired, just bored. Is 10 minutes at 50/steps a minute even going to accomplish anything (only about 100 calories burnt).
My goal is to lose some fat while maintaining or even gaining muscle. So far it seems to be working, just going very slowly. I've lost about 2 pounds on the scale in the last 2 months, but my pants are getting loose and I continue to PR every week in the gym.
