• One of the most overlooked influences in being a
  top CrossFit athlete is diet and nutrition. Some
  athletes seem to think you can exercise a bad
  diet away.
• For the very elite CrossFit athletes, diet is as
  big a part of their regime as the workouts and
  all of the other physical aspects in CrossFit
  participation.
• We asked Sydney CrossFit Trainer Karl Robertson
  for his views on what he believes constitutes a
  good CrossFit diet.

Dont Get Too Scientific About It Just Follow
Some Basic Principles

• In my view you dont need to calorie count or
  obsess over portion control. Keep it simple and
  be sensible. Use quality food and avoid processed
  foods.
• Stay away from fast food and use ingredients in
  your meals that have a lot of nutrients. Use some
  supplements if you want to but dont make them
  the focus of your diet.
• A lot of the foods you eat while you are doing
  CrossFit should be considered good for recovery
  so ingredients like fish, beef, eggs and chicken
  should feature heavily in your diet because of
  the protein that they contain which promotes
  muscle recovery.

Every Human Being Is Unique. Use What Works For
You.

• People all have their own body efficiencies,
  cravings, habits, metabolisms, allergies and
  hormone levels. Individuals need to find their
  own dietary solutions and what works for them.
• Employing a dietician isnt a bad idea and dont
  be afraid to experiment a little. It is not
  enough just to design a great nutrition plan. You
  have to be able to enjoy your nutrition and it
  needs to be maintainable.
• There isnt much point in designing a great
  nutrition plan if you are unable to stick to it
  after a week because you hate eating the food you
  have planned to eat.

Eat Plenty Of Vegetables.

• With the exception of potatoes and can really eat
  as many vegetables as you like without affecting
  the rest of your diet. And you should.
• Vegetables are the best natural source for
  vitamins and minerals.
• Moderate your intake with vegetables that are
  high in carbs.

Manage Your Fruit Intake

• No athlete should go overboard with fruit. There
  is a bit of a myth that fruit can be treated the
  same way as vegetables and you can eat as many as
  you like with no negative impact which isnt
  true.
• While fruit is good for you, a lot of fruits
  contain high levels of sugar and carbs so they
  should be eaten in moderation, probably no more
  than 2 or 3 pieces of fruit a day.
• Again, it isnt a bad idea to consult a dietician
  to plan the fruit component of your nutrition
  plan.

It Is Okay To Cheat A Bit.

• Some athletes allow a cheat day every week.
  Others allow a cheat day every month. It is
  generally a good idea to follow the following
  rules with cheats
• Dont go overboard. For example, if you cheat
  with a pizza night, control your portions. There
  is no need to eat a whole pizza.
• Dont cheat for the whole day. Just cheat with
  one thing during the day if possible.

• Lastly the key to finding your perfect nutrition
  plan is experimentation, but try to find your
  base plan first and then experiment with little
  modifications as you go.
• Research online and look at the diets that some
  of the top athletes use.
• They will have done a lot of your research for
  you.
• Good Luck.
