Ready to fuel your body for peak CrossFit performance and unlock a healthier you? Forget the tired ‘calories in, calories out’ mantra and dive into the powerful principles of CrossFit nutrition. In this Nutrition Lab, we’re going beyond the basics and exploring how a strategic combination of garden vegetables, lean meats, nuts, and seeds – with a measured approach to fruit, starch, and absolutely no added sugar – can revolutionize your fitness journey. We’ll dissect the 40-30-30 macronutrient ratio that forms the cornerstone of this approach, and uncover the science behind protein absorption and insulin spikes, revealing why the type of carbohydrate matters just as much as the quantity. Drawing wisdom from CrossFit founder Greg Glassman and insights from Coach Paul Roberts, we’ll tackle the critical role of the block system in meal planning, expose the flaws in simplistic calorie counting, and explore the hormonal dance of ghrelin and leptin that governs your appetite. Whether you’re striving for a sub-three-minute Fran or simply aiming to optimize your overall well-being, this deep dive into CrossFit nutrition will equip you with the knowledge to transform your body from the inside out. Get ready to measure, track, and conquer – your path to elite fitness starts now.
