Mat Fraser's CrossFit Diet: Everything You Want to Know

[@bmichaelgroff]

He doesn't stress about nutrition and is still the FITTEST man on earth...this proves that nutrition doesn't have to be complicated...

[@elisscaliving5864]

Easy not to stress when you meals are pre made

[@bammmkaboom63]

It does for specific sports

[@Roniboney]

that doesn't prove anything. It just proves that exercise thermomgensis and raising your TDEE and RMR can have a blunting effect on nutrients due to oxidative stress and other factors.

Why he is not Paleo, Keto or vegan. ‘Cause he is an athlete.

[@MrOpticBlade]

Dario Castaneda Well being vegan is usually an ethical choice. And can be a good ”diet” for athletes. Kind regards, a non vegan

[@Edd1e8]

But the ketards claim that cutting carbs will make your stronger and give you more energy! ;)

[@nfn7121]

No. It’s because everyone is different and we all require our own food requirements. What works for one does not work exactly the same for everyone. It takes wisdom to find out what works best for that person which will be different for each person. Keto with OMAD works miracles for me but might not work at all for anyone else.

[@Smil7001]

It may be “ethical” to you but it’s certainly not meant for humans. A lot of vegans are going back to eating animal products because they realize this “diet” is unsustainable. You would die in nature trying to be vegan. If nobody believes me look up vegan tooth loss on KZbin or google ex vegan forums or the videos on here about what we’ve learned from ex vegans

[@maartje5704]

I actually did not mind the just audio, it was good to listen to what he was saying instead of seeing a blurry webcam video.

Great video! I love his simple approach on it!! I'm a like that too cuz I love to eat! 2:43-you know what foods are good for you and what's not. Well put!!

Very simple approach to nutrition from the fittest man on earth

[@DesignedByTaz]

Hydration is definitely much higher on the list, for aesthetic and performance based individuals. I’m shocked to see you put it so low on this list.

[@grantfrost6888]

Completely agree. I feel it should be tied for first ... 1a calories 1b hydration

[@sandrastephens1030]

[@maannj]

He doesn’t stress about diet because even if he eats 3000 calories, he is still going to burn it all in his next training session. Athletes train differently and they eat for fuel and recovery. Diet is still important for the average person who trains 1-hour three times a week to lose fat, build muscles or recomp

I follow you on Stridewise. I didn't know you managed this too. Awesome video.

[@matthewqueree]

very well presented...i like the flashing the academic studies where there is research to support...

[@chegvra]

Try to eat 6-7k calories in a day eating just “clean” foods. I eat 3k and I feel like throwing up from fullness, and I weigh 230lbs. Most elite athletes have to eat “junk” just to get in the calories.

[@themaxjenkinson]

lol what, I eat clean and only eat carbs with dinner, I can get down 3-4K easy and I weigh 160lbs. I do agree getting in 6-7K clean is really hard but with rice and fatty sauce + meat you can get in 2K in a meal easy.

[@Barbend]

That's what the Vertical Diet tries to solve, you should check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipnJkH6bqLOZqcU - Nick

[@Smil7001]

There is a lot of high density low volume foods like nut butters, oils, rice, 3 k can be slammed easy

[@timmichael7982]

The FDA would like us to be careful with CBD bc they haven't figured out a way to tax it all yet... much like anything new.

How is hydration the bottom of the priority list?? Meal timing should definitely be down there imo

[@frankyvincentio3301]

You lost me when you put hydration last on the list...

[@lloydfernquest]

I think when you're eating that much a day you get a lot of water from your food. Although, I do agree it doesn't make sense to say hydration is the least important component of diet

Supplements, hydration, and timing are more or less equally weighted by Renaissance Periodization, sorry for not making that clear - Nick barbend.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/renaissance-periodization-priority-chart-750x547.png

The makers of the pyramid say they're all about as important as each other, 10% on the pyramid. But personally I'd agree hydration is significantly more important than the other two - Nick

[@syedhassan100100]

Is he the fittest man on Earth or is he just the best at CrossFit?

[@brownprincess7189]

I'm quite sure the best at crossfit. "The fittest on earth" is just to inflate a title. Though I must admit, they're in great shape, I'm quite sure if they were to take up in other elite sport, they'd be challenged.

[@brandonreaves6791]

the terms are somewhat synonymous, mostly because of the variety of “skills” crossfit requires you to have. i would argue that the best crossfit athletes are the most well rounded athletes by far in any category (and i mean literally any) but of course they’re not going to be Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps, who specialize at one thing and one thing only. the other thing is based on what your definition of fitness is

Explain, caught my attention.

[@fluffstuffpootiebean1688]

eyobin2 He doesn’t train like a CrossFitter year round. Neither did Frohning. You can’t get to that level of fitness through classic CF training with 2 strength work days a week mixed with a 15-30 min long metcon. Most of their training revolves around getting as strong as possible and skill work. Oxygenative conditioning can be increased within a few weeks, so they simply train CF metcons a few weeks before a competition. When you’re strong you move sub maximal weights easier already, then just add some conditioning work to it and bam! You’re set The big difference between them and us is their CP battery capacity. It can be trained to a certain extent, but much like neuromuscular efficiency it’s mostly a genetics thing.
