I am doing that macronutrient cycling. On workout days I have fats and carbs being about equal for caloric intake (and 1g/lb protein). On rest days, it is predominantly fats and much less carbs, maybe 10-20% of caloric intake (same amount of protein). On workout days I sometimes have trouble eating enough carbs without having to turn to less healthy dietary choices (sugary dessert type things like ice cream). Pasta doesn't work so well since it seems to make me bloated.
This all seems reminiscent of stuff I read about carb-backloading. In that regimen, "sloppy" carbs post-workout would be permissible. That's probably a topic for another thread, though.
Thanks for the heads up on feeding before HIIT. Dunno if I would've passed out mid-session had I kept fasting... I don't remember seeing much on HIIT on the website. All I can remember is that the guy said he hated cardio. :S
