Let’s be real—most people want to eat healthier. But between busy schedules, confusing advice, and restrictive meal plans, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
At CrossFit 611, we believe nutrition should feel doable, not defeating. That’s why we focus on habits that work in real life—not just for a week, but for the long haul.
Here are 3 simple habits we teach our members that make a big difference:
1. Follow the “Power Plate” Formula
Forget counting calories or cutting entire food groups. Just build your meals with these three components:
- Protein: chicken, eggs, tofu, Greek yogurt, protein shakes
- Produce: any fruit or veggie you enjoy
- Portion-controlled carbs or fats: like rice, potatoes, avocado, nuts, or olive oil
This approach creates balanced, satisfying meals that fuel your workouts and your life.
2. Make One Simple Swap
You don’t need to change everything at once. Start with one better choice a day:
- Soda → Sparkling water with lemon or lime
- Chips → Veggies with hummus
- Creamy coffee → Protein coffee or a half-sweet version
Small changes add up fast—and feel a lot more sustainable.
3. Plan for Tomorrow (Not Forever)
Instead of “starting over on Monday,” try this:
✅ Pick one meal to plan for tomorrow
✅ Prep a healthy snack
✅ Make one better choice than you did today
Progress doesn’t come from perfection—it comes from consistency. One win at a time.
