To lose weight, the "Fittest Woman on Earth" relies on a heaping breakfast packed with bagels, bacon, and peanut butter, as well as plenty of protein and carbs sprinkled throughout her day, to support an intense workout schedule.
Tia-Claire Toomey, a five-time champion of the CrossFit Games, shared a YouTube video on Monday showing what she ate to transition from training for the Olympic bobsled team back to CrossFit.
Toomey's fat-loss diet focuses on dropping weight slowly, while making sure she has plenty of energy to complete her training, according to her coach (and husband), Shane Orr.
In total, her day of eating clocks in at about 2,500 calories, compared with the 3,000 to 3,500 daily calories she consumed during bobsled season.
For breakfast, Toomey has a bagel with bacon, two eggs, another half a bagel topped with peanut butter and banana, blueberries, and supplements.
At 790 calories, it's the biggest meal of the day with plenty of fats, protein, and carbs, which Toomey said helped her perform more effectively.
"I find I have enough energy and I recover very well," she said.
Toomey has said she relies heavily on high-carb foods to fuel workouts. She incorporates about 790 calories' worth of snacks throughout the day to keep her energy up, including oatmeal, bananas, fruit snacks, and protein smoothies.
Lunch is 500 calories, high-protein with quick-digesting carbs, which Toomey eats during a long break between training sessions. The meal consists of ground beef, liver, and white rice. It's high in iron, zinc, and vitamin A.
Toomey rounds out the day with a light but filling dinner of pork tenderloin, potatoes, avocado, and salad, which is about 440 calories.

Yes, but can she beat Lia Thomas in a swimming contest?
What a babe!
Hey, I eat the same stuff! Cool!
Picture yourself making out with her on the couch. She then stops and says: “It’s yours if u want it. But you’ll have to take it”.
LOL
She’s lean and muscled, but is she healthy? If she’s using steroids (don’t know if she is), then she’s injuring her heart.
I prefer Tia Carrere.
Is it a real woman or does it just look like a man? 🤪
KBJ doesn’t know if he/she is a he or she...
All good and well and more power to her, but she doesn’t have a period.So she can’t be a “menstrual birthing person.”
Ping
Yeah to support her intense workout. If she does CrossFit then it’s ridiculous. Burns a lot of calories. Likely burns more than she eats, but the small healthy snacks and meals keeps her metabolism going 24/7. I just had my second shoulder surgery 2 1/2 months ago. They can’t fix it again. I power lifted for 20+ years and wrecked my joints from not taking breaks or cycling in lighter weights. After I tore both triceps tendons I started eating more of a bodybuilding diet and workout. Wish I had done that years ago. I used to eat insane amounts of food. Huge egg omelettes and 10 pounds of meat and 4 pounds of potatoes a day for 5 days a week. And beer. Took the weekends off and ate what I wanted which was a lot..and beer. Lol. Was fun..
Admirable, so great to work out that way. I find her diet revolting, except for lunch, which sounds good to me. Hate peanut butter, don’t eat pork or bagels of anything else made of wheat for that matter.
Anyway, none of my biz what she eats. I wish her well.
bonbon!
“her day of eating clocks”
No thanks. I don’t like thyme.
👍
An “intense workout schedule” and only 2500 calories WILL result in dramatic weight loss, without regard to the type of food. Click bait.
But I wonder what happens when she stops working out...
