Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I haven't seen a thread about how to eat when you are doing CrossFit so I thought I'd put one up to see what kind of advice you guys have for me. I did CrossFit last week and two of the days I ended up throwing up afterwards. I'm pretty sure my diet isn't good enough so I don't need to get it critiqued, instead I'm willing to just listen to what you guys suggest I eat ahead of doing CrossFit. My class starts at 5:30 p.m., how would you eat leading up to it?
For crossfit you do need carbs try getting a balanced diet but dont fast for too long
like 40% protein 40% carbs 30% fat balanced into more raw foods

bro 3pm eat 2 light eggs and fruit
you want to eat light foods, nothing heavy
lean proteins, non-starchy vegetables, nuts, seeds ... eat light ...
Your last food intake should be 2-3 hours before training, depending on how heavy your food is and make sure your drink plenty of water before, during and after training. Possible reason for throwing up is overheating-lack of water
I suspect it's not WHAT you ate but when. Try no later than 3.30pm
A balanced whole food diet will work wonders.
Make sure you avoid any processed foods like whey protein shakes. That will definitely end up making you puke. You want to be able to focus on the workout, and not digestion.
