<p>Hi All, I am starting to do HIIT workouts 3x a week in hopes to lose body fat, and am wondering what food after my work out will be best for that fat loss? I am experimenting with FODMAPS, so my food choices are kind of limited, but it has helped me so this is what my average day looks like.</p> <p>Breakfast 7:20am = A cup of Almond Milk with a scoop of all green powder (100 cals)</p> <p>Around 2:30pm, 20 minutes of "fasted HIIT" maybe a spoon of MCT oil before hand for energy </p> <p>Dinner = Some sweet potatoes/regular potatoes, some grass fed beef and some Leafy greens/vegetable juice?</p> <p>I am avoiding fruit, but have heard on intense exercise days to have more carbs and on rest days to have more fat. Can I have potatoes after my work out sessions or should I just have proteins and greens for maximum fat loss?</p> <p>EDIT*<em>*</em>* I really don't like downing a spoon of MCT oil before every workout... but don't want to ruin the benefits of a "fasted" HIIT. Sadly though, I'm not sure if I have a choice b/c sometimes I'm way too tired to workout fasted, and my performance seems to be getting weaker each time... is there something that could be had before the workout that won't destroy my fat loss efforts? Or should I just suck it up and dream about potatoes for afterward haha?</p>

<p>Play around with your PWO meal to see what makes you lean out more. I run leaner with a high carb PWO meal, but I know others who don't. However, I do not agree with your "breakfast". I'm totally against drinking your calories. Have real food for breakfast and ditch the shakes and smoothies for the best results. </p>

<p>my stomach is usually off immediately after hard workouts, especially HIITs. so I always bring a protein shake. Proteing immediately post workout is important, none of the other macros are critical.</p>

<p>How long have you been following a HIIT protocol and what results have you had?</p> <p>I would encourage you to not change your diet and see what happens first. See what results you get then start to play with PWO diet stuff. While you may not be doing this too often people will take a shotgun approach and made a bunch of changes then have no idea what effect everything had. You will wind up chasing your tail trying to figure out what really worked.</p>
