Nutrition: The Foundation of Performance

Nutrition: The Foundation of Performance

Why Nutrition Comes First
You can’t out-train a poor diet.
In CrossFit, nutrition sits at the base of the pyramid because it fuels every other layer: conditioning, gymnastics, weightlifting, and sport.


The CrossFit Prescription
It’s not complicated:
Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar.
Balanced as 40% carbs, 30% protein, and 30% fat.

This balance:

  • Fuels your workouts

  • Supports recovery

  • Improves body composition

  • Keeps energy steady throughout the day


How to Build Your Plate
To make this simple, think of it like this:

  • Protein: palm-sized portion (meat, fish, eggs)

  • Carbs: a fist of vegetables, plus some fruit or a little starch

  • Fats: a thumb or small handful (nuts, seeds, avocado, olive oil)

    The eyeball method


Why It Works
CrossFit is about measurable progress.
And when your nutrition supports your training, you can train harder, recover faster, and see results you can actually measure.


Take the Next Step
If you want help linking your meals with your goals, book a Goal Review.
We’ll keep it simple, practical, and doable for your life.
