Best diet for CrossFit athlete

[vavine]

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

what you eat leading up to your workout is very important. i would not eat a thing within 2-3 hours of the actual session and your last meal should be easy to digest things like watery fruits

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.
