I've done HIIT both on an empty stomach and with eating. I didn't see any progress when I ate. I've also done HIIT on a treadmill and outside, it is much more beneficial outside. Mostly because you don't have to wait for the treadmill to get to speed. If doing HIIT on an empty stomach mega dose with 50-70 grams of BCAAS. I also don't see an advantage waiting an hour after your HIIT to eat. Just eat a regular breakfast with plenty of carbs. With that being said, HIIT isn't a replacement for slow paced cardio, it's an addition. You're still going to want to do slow paced cardio in the evening after your workout if you're looking to cut. If you're cutting I would expect you would need about 45 min. of cardio. The only time you should eat carbs is after your HIIT session and weight lifting. Up your protein intake with your other meals.
