Which is best for HIIT?

[bedHead]

If I were to do it in the morning, would it be better to do it on an empty stomach, or is it ok to have something to eat about an hour before? If so, what are some good ideas on what to eat?

I read once in mens health ,a good pre-workout meal for strength training
-A boiled egg
A good pre workout for cardio -fatburning
A ripe banana
Fat burning is best on an empty stomach,try having a couple of cups of tea or coffee before hiit for energy.A protein shake straight after training is good for you because its supposed to repair the muscles.I still wouldnt skip breakfast its the most important meal of the day ,I would have a bowl of cereal or something to start the day.

Yeah you gotta have breakfast otherwise it'll **** your metabolism up for the day, It wont be as efficient for burning fat when you eat later(you'll be more likely to pig out and over eat) even with the afterburn of HIIT.

Tbh I think either one is ok(i could be wrong tho i'm not an expert on the subject),just make sure if you have cereal its a very healthy one, then you can have the shake when you've finished.
