How much protein should I eat per day?

Most active adults thrive on roughly 1.6 to 2.2 grams per kilogram of bodyweight per day, spread across three to four meals.

Do I need a pre-workout shake before a CrossFit class?

For a 60-minute class, no. A normal meal one to three hours before training is plenty.

What supplements actually work?

Creatine monohydrate (3 to 5 g daily), protein powder if you struggle to hit protein targets with food, vitamin D in northern climates, and fish oil. The rest is mostly optional.

Why am I not losing weight even though I''m training hard?

Almost always because your eating is calibrated to a higher activity level than you''re actually doing. The fix is honest portions and more protein, not more food.

Should I eat differently on training and rest days?

Yes. Flex carbs to match activity. Keep protein consistent across all days.
