Five-time CrossFit Games Champion Tia-Clair Toomey is currently in the process of lose the 20 pounds he gained while training to qualify for the Australian Olympic luge team. In a new video on her YouTube channel, the “Fittest Woman in the World” shares the 2,500-calorie diet she’s using to get back to losing weight in preparation for CrossFit season.
“Throughout my sledding trip I was eating a lot of calories, I was actually force-feeding myself,” she says. “I was about 3,000 to 3,500 calories a day. I was never hungry and I hated food at the time. So we’re going from one extreme to the other here.”
The first meal of the day consists of a toasted bagel with beef bacon and two eggs, another half bagel with peanut butter and banana, a serving of blueberries, and three apple cider vinegar and vitamin gummies, for a total of 790 calories. . Toomey’s husband, trainer and former CrossFit athlete Shane Orr, explains that while she eats breakfast three hours before her training session, the meal incorporates more fat than it traditionally would if the window were smaller. “Throughout the day you’ll see more carbs coming in,” he says.
For lunch, which Toomey usually eats during a long break in the middle of a training session, Orr cooks up a protein- and iron-rich concoction of ground beef and liver with white rice (500 calories). “We stay true to the macros, just because I’m trying to lose sled weight,” says Toomey. “So I’ll eat this, lots of carbs, a little bit of protein. I ate a lot of fat for breakfast, so I’m not a big fan of having fat during my workout… Mainly carbs to help me have the right amount of energy throughout my workout. my training session.
In the second half of his workout, Toomey has a bag full of snacks for when his energy levels start to drop, including a banana, mixed berries and oatmeal, fruit snacks, a grain bar, a protein shake and more supplements. , which are coming. in 780 calories.
“I think it’s really important, even though I’m trying to cut weight, I’m also trying to be very mindful of…maintaining the right amount of nutrients that I need to sustain my training,” she says. “I’m going to have to slowly cut back on calories as well, because I’m overweight compared to where I normally sit comfortably… but I don’t want to do it too fast, and I want to make sure it’s slow, too.” leaving me so when it comes to semis I’m right where I want to be in terms of my body weight, I feel confident, I feel very healthy and I can exert as much energy as I need to run workouts.”
Dinner consists of pork tenderloin, baked potato, avocado, and mixed salad (440 calories). “This is going to be very filling, and I also feel like I have a really good balance of carbs, protein, and fat,” says Toomey. “Especially to make sure I have energy for another day of training tomorrow.”
Toomey ends up slightly exceeding his macro count for the day, so he forgoes his afternoon snack of oatmeal, almond milk-based yogurt, berries, and maple syrup.
“I was able to make sure my body was getting the right nutrients, I didn’t feel exhausted throughout the entire training day,” she says. “And I also know that by keeping this regular routine and watching what I’m eating, it will help me lose the weight I need for this season in a healthy way.”
