I am struggling with feeling lethargic after the HIIT cardio only days, no post workout meal (I do the treadmill, IMPETUS HIIT). I feel like I expend so much energy doing it that it’s hard to recover afterward even though I am still eating the breakfast right after. Any solutions?

Are you eating anything before hand or are you doing it fasted? If fasted, try eating half your breakfast before, then half after.

Also, have you tried incorporating EAAs? You might need to replenish your electrolytes after.
