CHALKBOX Change Challenge
I want to lose weight but I need help...
You have been doing CrossFit for some time now and you are getting better at the lifts, you understand the words AMRAP, WOD, EMOM and you have made a lot of new friends. But your weight isn't moving liked you hoped for yet.
If we look at the pyramid of health Nutrition is the foundation. A healthy diet is also the foundation of CrossFit and without it you won't perform as well, you won't progress as well and guess what, you won't lose body fat.
CrossFit Pyramid
You might think you eat well and do not consume that many calories, but what did you eat yesterday? And if you can remember this then tell me what did you snack?
Every little snack, glass of juice or wine and so on will add to your daily calories. If you like to lose body fat you need to live on a calorie deficit. If you don't track your food you will never know if you are eating the correct amount.
Tracking your food might seem a bit time consuming in the beginning but it is super important if you like to lose body fat. Accuracy and consistency are important. During this phase, stay away from restaurants that don’t have their nutritional information available online. You need to be able to account for every meal, and a cheeseburger from one place might contain 600 calories while something that appears identical contains 1,500. Ideally, you’ll be prepping your own food for the greatest accuracy.
