At CrossFit Navarre, we believe in training hard, staying strong, and fueling our bodies with purpose. But there’s one truth that always comes up, whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just getting started:
Even the most consistent workouts can’t undo the damage of poor eating habits. If your nutrition doesn’t support your training, you’ll feel it—in your performance, your recovery, and your results.
CrossFit is a powerful training system built on intensity, variety, and functional movement. It’s meant to push your limits and build long-term strength and fitness. But here’s the catch:
A workout might burn 300–500 calories. A fast-food combo meal can set you back over 1,200.
Exercise alone isn’t enough. Without proper nutrition, you’re working against your goals. As the British Journal of Sports Medicine noted, “you cannot outrun a bad diet,” especially when it comes to obesity, inflammation, and metabolic health.
CrossFit’s dietary guidance is simple and powerful:
“Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.”
This whole-food-based approach keeps things clean and sustainable:
By avoiding processed foods and eating intentionally, you create the foundation for both performance and longevity.
Protein is the most important nutrient for anyone living an active lifestyle.
According to the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, athletes should aim for 1.4–2.0 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day.
Why it matters:
Whether it’s grilled chicken, eggs, Greek yogurt, or a post-WOD shake, prioritizing protein helps your body rebuild and perform at its best.
Cleaning up your nutrition isn’t just about looking better—it directly impacts how you feel in the gym.
Better eating leads to:
Tracking your meals, planning your grocery list, or working with a coach can help make small changes that lead to big results.
At CrossFit Navarre, we’re more than a gym—we’re a team. And when you surround yourself with people who care about performance, wellness, and personal growth, your nutrition habits follow suit.

You’ll also notice that better nutrition leads to better performance on benchmark workouts, Open WODs, and Hero WODs. When you eat well, your fitness speaks for itself.
Training hard without fueling right is like driving a sports car on an empty tank. If you’re ready to take your fitness to the next level, your first step isn’t more cardio—it’s a better meal plan.
