When performing HIIT you burn more cals during the exercise but it doesn't stop there, you keep burning cals for hours after the workout increasing the cal burn much more. It goes back to the easy sells theory as well, you can jump on an eliptical for an hour in front of your tv and watch your favorite program or hop on it and perform HIIT for 20-30 min burn more cals and get on with your life, the choice is yours.
Don't guess at what you are eating, write down everything you eat and drink and post it up and we can tear it appart LOL.
