Fasted cardio burns proportionally more fat during the session but doesn't produce greater fat loss over time. Choose based on comfort and performance.

Fasted training shifts fuel use towards fat during the session, but 24-hour fat balance ends up similar. Total energy deficit is what determines fat loss.

If fasted work leaves you lightheaded or performing poorly, it is counterproductive. Diabetics on medication should not train fasted without medical advice.
