    post HIIT nutrition?

    What do you all eat/drink after your HIIT or other cardio?
    Does the same rule that applies to lifting that you shouldn't have fat (i.e cottage cheese) right after apply to cardio also?
    I'm thinking about doing it at night, but is it better to do it in the morning on an empty stomach? If so, my breakfast has a fat source (eggs), so would that negatively affect fat loss?

    I'm carb cycling btw, so would cardio be most effective on the night of a no-carb day? Or maybe the morning after a low-carb/no-carb day?

    Eating fat after lifting inhibits protein absorbtion by the body (muscles).

    From the research I've seen, that isn't true
    "in the howling bleeding nights, the dogs plunge into the Volga and swim desperately to gain the other bank. The nights of Stalingrad are a terror for them. Animals flee this hell; the hardest stones cannot bear it for long; only men endure."

    Duncan,

    I think this is one of those things that can be debated and discussed for a lont time without any real solutions being brought about.

    For PWO 1 and 2, I play it safe and avoid fats.


    I could be wrong. I've been wrong before.

    Breakfast, aka shake and oatmeal. Your HIIT has done its thing, raised your metabo and burned some cals. Now feed your muscles.

    well in terms of cutting itd be a good idea to not have a low fat diet but stay away from fats post workout.

    Since the purpose of carb cycling is forcing the body into using other forms of energy on low-carb days.

    what he said above me..feed the muscle the day after
