i'd eat something about 2 hours before your workouts especially if you're going to be doing cardio cos you want food to be settled and digested, your goals are to lose fat so I would try to have a small meal of fats and proteins (couple of boiled eggs, protein shake+EFAs)
STRAIGHT after your workout get a post workout shake, a blend of Whey Portein Isolate (preferably with BCAAs) and GLucose or Dextrose/maltodextring then about an hour later have a propper meal of carbs and proteins.
see how that goes

If you're doing cardio (for fat loss I take it), I don't think I'd want to have any sort of insulin spike going into it or coming out of it, so your body would have an easier time of burning fat than just blood sugar. That's why in my opinion, to maximise things it's better to separate the cardio from the lifting, as the nutrition aspect to maximise each doesn't really go hand in hand all too well (tho' I'm sure it's all different on an inidivdual basis just how better "maximised" is compared to "normal")
