Question: Crossfit girl body, I don't want to built muscle or get buff, what kind of food should I eat?
Answers:
I'm a personal trainer of 5+ years and a gymnast of 20, currently attending college to be a nutritionist.
I'm not sure what you stated you want; but it sounds like to want to be toned, but not TOO much, right?
Well, I've lost 80 pounds, and now am succeeding in the battle of losing my muscle mass, which is harder than losing fat.
It's pretty rough, and takes determination.
I'll give you a challenge. Research an actress or model's diet. I'll bet you anything, that they all basically eat the same.
5-6 200 calorie meals comprised of mostly lean proteins and low-carb vegetables, and 1 hour or more of cardio 4-6 days a week.
Nope, it ain't easy - but it works. I promise if you do this, you WILL see results. if you cut out dairy, you'll need a calcium supplement, and a multivitamin. Protein shakes also help a ton with the ghrelin hormones that cause hunger.
Oh yeah, my stats: 5'8, 125 pounds, and going down, finally looking the way I want, no more pooch & no more jiggles!. Something that helps me remember all this is my swimsuit that hangs beside my closet; and "NO" A-B-C-D-E-F, with one serving exception every three days.

your coach is right in that it's difficult for females to become extremely muscular. we dont have enough testosterone and i doubt the weights used are heavy enough
I wouldn't worry about it. It's very hard to get buff as a male let alone as a female lol. Your coach named carbs which is half true. If you eat enough of them you will gain weight. I'm not familiar with the workout you're doing but I can assure you that as long as you're doing cardio you should be fine. As far as food, stick to lean meats like lunch meat turkey and ham. You're still at the beginning of the workout so drastic change is expected. Gains tend to decrease as time passes so don't expect to gain 4 pounds a muscle in the next 3 weeks. If you do your body is very special.
