HIIT days call for fast energy pre-workout and rapid recovery afterward. Quick tweaks you can try:
- Pre-workout snack: 15, 60 minutes before, aim for 15, 30 g carbs with a small protein boost. Good options: banana with a spoon of peanut butter, a slice of toast with jam, or yogurt with berries. Sip water.
- During the session: most HIIT under 60 minutes doesn’t need fueling. If you’re sweating heavily or sessions run long,考 consider a small carb beverage or electrolyte drink.
- Post-workout recovery: within 1, 2 hours, pair carbs with protein to replenish glycogen and support muscle repair. Examples: smoothie with fruit and yogurt or milk, chocolate milk, rice with chicken, or a turkey sandwich.
- daily plan: on HIIT days, lean toward higher carbs and adequate protein (roughly 1.2, 1.6 g/kg). Hydration and electrolytes matter if you sweat a lot.
- quick tip: adjust fiber and fat if you notice GI upset; keep portions reasonable around workouts.

On HIIT days, time carbs to fuel the effort and speed recovery. Have a carbohydrate-rich snack or small meal 1, 2 hours before training (about 30, 60 g carbs, with a small protein lift). After: 20, 40 g protein and 40, 60 g carbs within an hour to support muscle repair. Hydrate well and consider electrolytes if you sweat heavily.

HIIT days, my routine includes a quick carb snack before and protein and carbs after, plus plenty of water.
