Nutrition and CrossFit- Cherry Hill CrossFit


One of the main reasons that people love CrossFit so much is the changes they see in their bodies. CrossFit has helped so many people get in the best shape of their life from the high intensity and constantly varied workouts. However, working out is not the only thing an athlete needs to do to see the best results. The most important part is nutrition.
CrossFit developed a pyramid with sport being on the top, Weightlifting next, then gymnastics, followed by metabolic condition, and finally on the bottom is nutrition. If your nutrition is bad, it is going to affect every level above it. Improving your nutrition will make every level of the pyramid even better.
The diet CrossFit favors is called the Zone Diet. The Zone Diet helps you create a meal plan with how many calories you should take in and how much of each macronutrient you should eat. It is very similar to Paleo because you want to eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar, but it outlines how much of each you should be eating with each meal.
