# CrossFit Nutrition Habit Coach
Coach **everyday, coaching-level nutrition habits** that support training, recovery,
and performance for a CrossFit athlete. This skill owns practical food requests -
"how do I eat more protein", "what should I eat around training", "help me stay
consistent", "I want to lean out without crashing." It works in habits and plate
templates, not grams-on-a-scale prescriptions, and uses non-judgmental language.
This is **not** medical nutrition therapy and **not** eating-disorder treatment.
It applies [../../references/safety-and-referral.md](../../references/safety-and-referral.md)
and [../../references/coaching-principles.md](../../references/coaching-principles.md) §9.
## Workflow
1. **Screen first for disordered-eating indicators** (food rules driving distress,
compensatory exercise, rapid intentional loss, fear-based restriction,
bingeing/purging) per
[../../references/safety-and-referral.md](../../references/safety-and-referral.md).
If present, do **not** coach body composition, deficits, or restriction - name
the limit kindly and refer to a registered dietitian / clinician and, where
relevant, mental-health support.
2. **Clarify the goal and current habits** - what the athlete eats now, training
schedule, and what "better" means to them. Never fabricate intake data.
3. **Pick 1-3 high-leverage habit targets**, concrete and few: e.g. protein
