CrossFit Nutrition - Body Fat %
I'll try my best to keep this as short as possible! Most of my life I was obese and I lost 70 lbs about 7 years ago. Since then, I've tweaked my nutrition and cleaned up my diet more and more as I learned more about nutrition. I've been at the same weight (about 139-144) for years now- losing fat and gaining muscle as I…

How does your body react to unhealthy food?
I have been living a healthy lifestyle for a couple of years now. My diet isn't perfect all the time- I will "cheat" occasionally and eat unhealthy foods every now and then, but for the most part I just don't eat the same foods as I used to.

That being said, I'd venture to say most of the fat I intake per day comes from peanut butter. I know people have said "Don't be scared of peanut butter", and "It's the good kind…

Should I eat more? Less?
Getting so frustrated with my progress lately. I have been embracing the three meals and 2-3 substantial snacks throughout the day. I went from a 1200 cal diet to a 1400 and I burn a lot of calories doing cardio that I eat back almost always. I haven't made any progress at all since I made these changes and on top of that…

Weird but... metallic/ammonia smell after prolonged cardio?
Okay, so I hope this doesn't seem too weird, but lately I have been noticing that after my Zumba and Spin classes (each of which are 60 minutes long and I typically burn 500-700 cals) I have been noticing a strange metallic/ammonia like smell/taste (I can't figure out if its a smell OR a taste). I don't usually notice this…
