Preworkout or post workout???

[W8Lady]

I do HIIT 4 times a week with weights afterwards, first thing in the morning (6am). Question is.....do I have pre workout meal or post workout meal with the following schedule.....or both? How soon before, or how soon after....I have been doing my research but am confused. HIIT should be done first thing in the am on empty belly....weights should be done with a meal? Help me please.

Mon. Upper Body/20 mins HIIT
Tues. Lower Body/20 mins HIIT
Wed. REST
Thurs. Upper Body/20 mins HIIT
Fri. Lower Body/20 mins HIIT
Sat. REST
Sun. 20 mins HIIT

I would have both a pre and post workout meal. Don't lift on an empty stomach.

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.
