How two-time champion James Sprague approaches his nutrition

James Sprague did not grow up as a talented young athlete. At twelve years old, he has said he had a difficult relationship with food and struggled with being overweight.

The turning point came when a young Sprague walked into a CrossFit box for the first time. That experience set him on a path that ultimately led to two CrossFit Games titles and the title of Fittest Man on Earth.

What stands out about his approach is that the two-time champion does not track macros, which is fairly unusual in the competitive CrossFit world. He opts for a more intuitive approach to nutrition rather than strict counting and weighing.

It shows that the road to the top does not always begin with a perfect picture.
