Q: Do any coaches specialise in plans to help hormones?? Such as PCOS and Endometriosis?

A: Yes! Absolutely. We have coaches who have significant experience working with clients in these areas and they understand that nutrition is vital!

 

Q: I'm trying to lose weight, what % carbs should I be using in my macros if I train CF Daily?

A: CrossFit is a glycolytic sport and works well with a Zone split of 40% Carbs, 30% Pro, 30% Fat, so this might work well for you.

 

Q: Trying to lose weight by minimising calorie intake while training for a marathon, will it work?

A: If you are in a calorie deficit (taking in less than you are using) then yes, it will.

 

Q: How do I know if I am eating enough fats?

A: This is completely individual and depends on your personal goals, the type of exercise you do and in many ways, what types of food you enjoy

 

Q: Wholemeal vs mixed grain wraps, what's better or worse?

A: Check your ingredients list. The one that has the least amount of ingredients and the most wholegrain content is your winner! If you don't know what the ingredient is, move on and find something else. #THANKYOUNEXT

 

Q: What's the best carbs to have post workout?

A: My favourite post-workout is a banana in a good quality wrap, so you are getting simple and complex carbs to support liver and muscle glycogen restoration. I also love baby food pouches (but always check your ingredients list!)

 

Q: Are re-feed days important?

A: No, but they can be a beneficial tool to utilise when sitting in a calorie deficit. It can really depend on the person.
