How many calories do female Crossfitters eat?
The idea with fueling a Crossfit workout is to keep your body fueled as long as possible. The longer your blood sugar and glycogen stores are high, the longer you can keep on working out. If your blood sugar drops and you feel hungry, you will start to slow down mentally and physically. If your blood sugar drops you’re brain will tell the muscles to shut down and they won’t move. Shorter workouts are better than longer workouts for this reason.
Not to be confused with CrossFit, where trained coaches help you push through to achieve a new personal best, CrossFit high intensity is a different and a very dangerous workout program that has caused numerous injuries.
