Cardio on Recovery day?

[StereOMaN]

My goal currently is to gain size, I'm attempting to keep it as lean as possible, so I do work in some cardio. However I feel that with my gargantuin intake of calories my cardio is doing less so I want to find a way to fit in carb depletion cardio, like right in the mornings on an empty stomach. My lifting schedual does not permit me to do this though. My question is would I be hindering my gains significantly or over stressing myself if I did empty stomach cardio the morning of my weekly recovery day? Opinions, Pro's, Con's, all welcome!

IMO, do 15-20 minutes of HIIT cardio 4x week after your workout and it will help you stay very lean. I also find it increased my appetite a lot.

I'm currently on a strict 3300 CLEAN cal diet to help me gain a little more lean mass before I run my next cutting cycle in a few months. Since I know my bf will go up a little, and I want to keep it to a minimum, I've been running 2miles 3x a week on an empty stomach on my "off" days. It has only been 2 weeks, but so far it has worked pretty well. I'm gaining weight in the right spots.
