Why didn’t I know the amazing Kristi Eramo had a RU-vid channel before now 🤦🏼♀️ binge watching all your content. Love you and Pat so much, so glad I have these videos to watch. You guys are amazing! Such an amazing athlete and so glad I have access to this content you’ve put out. Can’t wait for next years schedule to see you compete again. Shame with the formatting on online content this year as you should’ve been in that final for sure! Love you guys 💓💓
Possibly the most valuable, interesting crossfit related vlog channel out there at the moment ! There I said it Kristi works her ass off across all aspects of her athletic career 🙌🏽 always interesting, motivating and super informative insight to her sport
Well done. You made that very simple and do a lot of the things I’m already doing yet you added some good ideas that I will try now as well. Thank you for sharing this!
Really really love and so appreciate I found your channel! I honestly really love CrossFit although I’ve never been a CrossFit athlete. I love how balanced and healthy you are with your nourishment!
Informative video, thanks very much. You come across as honest and sincere. Your vlogs are the best of all of the crossfit vlogs. A great personality can't be taught and you're right at the top!
Great advice! Thank you! I thoroughly enjoy all your content. You and Pat are really genuine people and I love that. Thank you for always sharing! Can't wait to watch you at the Games!
Totally! I do love the advice too! What was it again? Put the food in the fridge right? And a complete shocker: check the dates! Who would've thought that right? I'm pretty sure there are some seven-year-olds who may not remember that. I wouldn't have the courage to say this to my 11-year-old daughter - she'd be offended. The only thing I still dont' know: do you actually remove the protective foil or do you microwave it too? I hope this will feature in the next Q&A video. Can't wait. In the meantime, just to err on the side of caution, I WILL not remove the foil, it's full of vitamins too I suppose.
Just wanted to throw out there, in addition about reaching to the back, as you say, do check the actual date on your food, even as you reach to the back, because stores know that people know that, and I've pulled things out and then checked the front, and the back was older. ;) Especially during sales. You're an amazing athlete, Kristi. And you come across so warm and down-to-earth. Thanks!
Keep being a rockstar Kristi. Thanks for sharing this AWESOME video. I have been doing SO well with my diet thanks to you. Keep up these AWESOME videos & sharing your AWESOME recipes. Should I keep the same diet that I have knowing that it done me this well?
Great video and tips!! Finding your why is so important and even re-evaluating. Any good turkey burger recipes? I've done meatloaf with lots of onions and peppers even celery its just always so dry.
As a fellow 5’2” female athlete, this video is gold 🙌🏻 Great info to compare. I’m pretty sure the smaller you are, the hangrier you get 😂 Keep bein’ a rockstar 💃🏻
Love a video from another 5'2" on a good day gal! Interesting to see your calories and macros since I'm a similar weight but guessing more bf ( I'm ~18%) because I eat less overall. And no where near 350 carbs.
Thank you for all your information. My exercising is roughly two hours daily. Eating breakfast are 3 eggs w/ground: turmeric, rose hip powder, ginger, cumin. Lunch is/are avocados w/fresh fruit, Supper is grass fed beef w/potatoes or other vegetable.
You guys are so blessed ! Kristi you explain things with passion from your heart! I really hope you will have your own very first CrossFit TV show!:) 💟🌼🌹🌻
Great video! Random question and maybe you’ve addressed it elsewhere. I’m not a crossfit athlete but train extensively several hours a day (powerlifting, ultra endurance). I struggle with a lot of water retention. My doctor has checked me out and all is ok health wise so he thinks it’s activity related. I naturally trend to a lower carb diet. I’ve found eating more carbs does help but still have the issue. Have you ever dealt with this? Anything you do to minimize this effect which I think isn’t uncommon among athletes.
That’s very interesting to hear that you are training that much and only needing 350 grams of carbs per day. I weigh 160-163 depending on the time of day. I train 1-3 hours per day and on the low side I will get 2200 calories with 143p/256c/75f for my macros. On the high end I will do 2800 calories with 176p/316c/93f. I don’t gain any weight off of this but it’s very interesting how different your requirements are vs mine with all that training. Thank you so much for making this!
You need those carbs cause you are killing it each day. Awesome share. I’m the opposite it would take me 34 days to consume 340 carbs. I have less than 10 carbs a day with exception of what I get from the 10 cups of vegetables I eat everyday (I never count the veggie carbs) It’s always interesting how different we all can eat especially when we have similar likes and goals. However I only put in 2 hours of workout time per day. Thank you again.
Higher garbs definitely works! That’s about as much carbs I eat too, girl. I normally eat about 3 to 4 meals a day, but my carb intake has been solid. I don’t eat junk food, and all I drink is water. Thank you Kristi! 😊❤️👊🏾
HI, I will add that in an upcoming video/ We pretty much buy the same stuff every week and it gets us in and out of the store quickly and without stuff we do not actually want haha
@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell That's awesome! Thanks for keeping up the content! I watch y'alls channel every time I go lift in my garage. Great motivation, down 15lbs! Just need to get my diet a bit cleaner.
I just started weight training. So, I have a long time to go, but wanting a better body by the time my husband takes me to Antiqua in June. So, I know to increase my proteins, but how many calories do you suggest? How do I finite that out? Thank you for all you do! I appreciate you!
Same i just ben having more carbs but i jad to with the amount of work i do i cant not be on low carb. But in the winter il go back to intermitent fasting and protines and vegies.
This isn’t exactly related but how do you work around sore muscles? Do you train the muscle even when it’s sore? Does stretching and rolling the muscle actually help with soreness? I’ve overloaded my muscle a lot in the past and now I never knew if it’s a bad thing to work sore muscle or not
Good carbs are underrated. No energy =no weights and performance = no adaptation. Let the protein do it’s job and let the carbs do it’s job. Only way to compete at a high level
I’m also 5’2” on a good day :) Have you tried the RP app versus the MyFitnessPal app? I was able to go on a cut with success using MFP and I’m trying out the RP app now. I notice RP doesn’t keep track of the calories.
Jenny Roman-Engelhart RP app is great! I am a similar size to her. I just checked and if I tell the app I’ll be heavily active with two workouts it gives me similar macros. 🤤
Signs you made be eating too many macros is excessive/quick weight gain (if someone's goal is weight gain you still want it to be about 1-2 lbs a week; just like weight loss) another would be feeling overly stuffed/bloated. She may have other examples of her own. However, that would be my helpful tip :)
Im skinny and not an athlete and I eat that much on a normal day and I hit that with 3 normal meals and I’m still always hungry 😂😂😂😂😂. It’s funny because a lot of ppl can’t imagine eating 350g of carbs but it’s not. My break fast shake alone has 150g and gets without bananas. I normally add 3 bananas but ran out today. So that means I hit about 200g of carbs just with my shake. For lunch I eat pasta a lot. About half or 3/4 of a pack plus 4 pieces of bruschetta. Then in the evening I eat salmon to some type of fish again with bruschetta lol. If I tracked my carbs (which I need to because I want to get back into working out) I’d probably hit north of 500g on a normal day. I actually have an issue hitting the right amount of protein. So I will actually have to adjust my carb intake down and my protein intake up. I’m skinny so who knows maybe I should eat 600g of carbs and 150g of protein and about 90g of fat. I’d probably gain too much. Body fat.
depends on bodytype .. some cant absorb 350g of carbs*(ECTOMORPH) and some turn into blobs(ENDOMORPHS) .. they need 60-90g .. you a MESOMORPH IM LIKE 50/50 MESO AND ENDO ... 200+ MAKES ME FATTER 60-90G I CUT FASTER BUT LESS GAINS LOL
Everyone's body is different! Some will do better with higher protein or higher fat diets. I feel better when training like I am with more carbs! It only is like this during CrossFit Games training. My fats will go back up after and carbs will drop
Ulrika Åkerlund great question! I’d be surprised if she adjusts her macros too much outside of games training. At this level, I suspect she just needs to meet her calorie needs each day.
Carbs esential. Gosh yes u may get tremours or feel so 2 tierd or. Just cant sleep. So yes u got it i did alll this not ber. I. Gym for s while so yes like riding life ok yes 8 yrs o.g yes thsts so bang on i. Just bk after 20 urs so on it now u remined me b wise thank u i needed c this to brush up here thanknu
Great, now I'm considering that keto diet all the more strongly. I'm a 6' tall dude, so I cannot relate to this video at all. I don't think carbohydrates are very good for me though. The main reason being, I have a lot of brain fogs and my ADHD worsens when I eat a lot of carbs. Even if I eat "healthy" sources of carbs such as oatmeal, fruits, and grains and exercise very regularly.
The important thing about nutrition is it is not a 1 size fits all. This approach may not work for you! Keto may be the way to go, but it is important to know what works for you!! Everyone is different! It is great that you know and are in tune with how things such as carbs may affect you!
Dairy is terrible in general. Beyond the feces, blood and pus allowed in it, it is a pro-inflammation product that helps cause and perpetuate illness. A lot of athletes and ppl in general, are ditching it.
Why 6 hours a day? Why 4 hours a day? What kind of life is that? 2 hours is a long workout. Why not intense and far more brief? I don't understand it at all. It is not functional nor productive in the long run. Adrenal fatigue, neuromuscular fatigue are most definitely the result, no matter how much you eat. So between shopping, meal prep and eating the meals, and 6 hour workout totals, you don't have much time for walking in the woods, social interaction (at the now 6 foot distance), etc.
Jeffrey Walker that is the berry upper end of training time, but to be able to compete a the highest level you have to be able to handle the volume of the test, and building up to that level over the course of a Comp season is the healthiest way to do that.
down fall, is that some people may be insulin resistant or become pre diabetic on this much carbs, each their own style, not suited 100% for everyone, but, if it works, good.
Insulin resistance is caused by fat consumption and toxic fat metabolites. Carbohydrates themselves do not cause diabetes or insulin resistance; the human body is optimized for burning carbohydrate.
Yea it has been a fun journey of learning to eat more and more to fuel my body and feel good ! Fuel is KEY for performance and that took me a while to learn !
You should get a meat thermometer, never burn meat again 😂. We bought a pellet grill this summer and Bluetooth thermometer, chicken has never tasted better.
#carbsrule thank you! Well over 90% of pro athletes across all sports maintain a high carb diet for their regular volume training and competitions. High fat low carb is not the way to go for athletes maintaining high work volume period
too much meat as a source of protein! I prefer soy and beans and also i avoid oils because it is refined produce and no health benefit from that! And you dont mention fiber at all, ur just focused on the carbs! how many grams of fiber u eat every day?
Hi, Thanks for watching! I am tracking for performance right now and I need energy for the work I am doing which comes from carbs! Nutrition is unique to each individual and there is no 1 size fits all! Thanks for watching!
@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell Indeed, there's no 1size fits all but there is 1size fits many:) That being said, there's no reason for us not to eat healthy no matter what the goals are. Good luck with whatever your doing and God bless!
I eat about 430g of carb a day & train about 2 hrs a day Im 5’6” & 132-135 lbs I didn’t think my intake was that high but now I’m reconsidering 😂 I’ve maintained it for about a year now
You look taller on camera, I wouldnt have placed you at 5 2". The camera must add 6 inches.... Pre-emptive: take your mind out of the gutter people! :D
Last time I checked my date, she ghosted me heheh Thanks for the tips. I myself found that having most of the carbs in the morning helps with the workouts.
