HIIT should absolutely never be done on an empty stomach. it should be treated as a training day. not only that but 5 sessions of it is overkill. 2-3 is plenty.

You should lift first, it is easier to get your HR up to where it needs to be during your HIIT session that way, plus it would make it easier for you to eat food prior (It is easier to do a BB type resistance training session with food in your gullet than to do energy system training with a full stomach). Personally, I would hit up a shake in cold water, it will empty faster than food. If you can, give yourself 20-30 mins to digest, but if not don't overdo the chow.
If sense were common, everyone would have it.
