Whats the best thing to eat pre- and post- a HIIT session, to optimize fat burning?

Just do it. Eat normally as you would for a regular training session. All research shows that what substrate is burned during your session you cannot choose anyway(you have no control over). The long term effects is what you will see results from.

I should add that if you are in competition mode, it of course matters then, as preserving lean mass is critical. If this is not the case, then as above, just do it.
