Purpose

Purpose & Objectives

You probably know how true it is: If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. In light of the expectations and responsibilities we pack into every day, it couldn’t be more true of nutrition. Perhaps you already know how to plan and cook, but life is presently not accommodating your nutritional needs. Or maybe you’re terrible at cooking healthy food and want to learn how to cook to support your CrossFit addiction. Or maybe you just want to live healthily and productively beyond age 50.

Our goal is to get everyone to want to learn and learn how to plan and make their weekly meals the most healthy and sustainable way. You chose CrossFit as the most efficient form of training. Why wouldn’t you choose the most efficient fuel?

Fitness & Nutrition

No matter what your age, job or your relationship with CrossFit, what you put in your body manifests itself on a daily basis and cumulatively as long as you’re alive. CrossFit’s nutrition prescription aligns with a Paleo diet and we apply the accounting tool from the Zone diet to help quantify in our approach to reaching individualized goals. Beyond the science that supports the stellar nutritional profile of a Paleo diet reducing the risk of the most common preventable human diseases, its athletes and experts have found it to work best for athletic performance.

We encourage you to gain an understanding of basic nutrition science, the state of nutrition in the US, and then compare the nutritional profiles of Paleo foods with the US Government’s myPyramid recommended foods to better understand why by eating the way you evolved to eat you’re making perhaps the best decision you’ll ever make.

We also encourage you to gain an understanding of why CrossFit endorses Zone eating for performance by reading through the CF Journal articles, here. For an excellent quick overview of the paleo lifestyle, check out this great video from King Crossfit, here. Also, check out our nutrition overview and our nutrition posts.
