Figures, stats, and numbers are flying around everywhere in the media these days. Let me help you with your math literacy so that you can better understand what these things mean. Math is not that complicated or intimidating when you just let the numbers tell you a story Can you get the right answer to this problem?
The Primer on Protein: Part 1
For health across the lifespan
by Jocelyn Rylee, CF-L4, BComm, MBA, MS
In 2002, Coach Glassman wrote the seminal article “What is Fitness” and therein outlined the ‘Theoretical Hierarchy Of the Development of an Athlete.’ A ranking, ordered not by CrossFit but by nature, illustrating that each layer has a dependency on the supporting layers below. Nutrition - the inputs to the system - is placed squarely at the foundation.

In the same article, ‘World Class Fitness in 100 words’ begins with the now infamous line: eat meats and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, no sugar. Consider this for a moment: in the prescription for achieving world class fitness, the first line has nothing to do with exercise or training at all.
It tells us what to eat.
But before we dive into the details, we need to zoom way, way out to ponder a big picture question:
Why do we need to eat? What is food for?

Psssst.... the halloween costume contest is coming :-)
