it depends on plenty of factors really:

starting point
ending point
time available
food quality
recovery quality
body type
fitness level
resistance training program
equipment
postural situation
muscle imbalances

i'll breal these down if you want...

From what I've learn,

slow steady cardio will use more fat (From foods) as their energy source.

But do you really believe that with the proper time between two HIIT session and a correct post-workout including carbs you will be more likely to loose muscle tissue compare to steady cardio on a restricted calories (Not under eating !) diet ?

I really don't understand something, why many people talk about muscles lost while on fat lost progress ? If you maintain a good PWO nutrition and a good frequently of your meal with all your proteins, normally muscle breakdown should be avoid ... Exactly as what we do while "bulking" no ?

Well, my meet tomorrow, going to bed.

- it depends on the intensity of the cardio...anything below about 60% will supposeably use fat as fuel if no carbs are present...anything above about 80% will use carbs fr energy or muscle if carbs are not present...anything in btw is a bit useless really as it's neither here nor there
- why would you do 2 HIIT sessions in 1 day? there'sonly so many cals that can be burnt in a day, try to hard and there goes your muscle
- well most people drop wts, decrease cal's and up the cardio so of course you'll lose muscle as not training or eating to keep it (use or lose it principle)...simple diet clean ups and smarter training can easily avoid this

good luck and let us know how you go

sprints are anabolic like wts so you won't lose muscle doing them, just be fuelled before you do them or not 1st thing in the morning

i can't beleive you put walking and efficient in the same sentence, it doesn't make sense...

you'll lose some muscle there's no doubt, just limit what you lose though...

coffee doesn't even do anything...

using fat for fuel doesn't mean your burning at...you want to burn your excess, not what your eating...you need to mobilise fat, not simply use it as energy...how do you mobilise fat intensity and the more prolonged the better

i'm doing a fat loss article in the next week...

Incline walking I said lol.

I've tough about it again,

Usually when I sprint I can do something like 6 due to the fact that I ALWAYS have wind in face lol. It takes me never more than 13 minutes, including walking to the road I use and coming back home.

So if I keep some carbs in my breaky, and some carbs post-workout, I would minimize the muscles lost ... right ?

and compare to some walking ... but without carbs in morning or post-walking (AHAH) would I loose less muscle ?

You said for BF lost : Intensity (Sprints) and prolonged (Walking lol) The two can't be put together, unless your doing some girl HIIT, something like one minute easier one minute easy ahah

THE F, my head is starting to mix up a lot ... before I explode I will go bed.

Thanks for your help !

you won't lose muscle by walking but it is by no means effcicient...why do something for 60mins (which is how long you'd need to do it for0 when you can get the same results in 13mins like you said?

you can mix them and i suggested so in your other post...there is 100 ways to go which will be the basis of the article i think
