The 5x Fittest Woman on Earth®, Tia-Clair Toomey, started the 2022 CrossFit Season successfully, as she placed second overall in the Open. This is very impressive, as Tia-Clair got back to CrossFit just 2 months ago, and carried over a lot of extra weight from bobsled training. Although her cutting progress is already noticeable, Tia-Clair still has to lose more weight to get into her peak shape.
On March 21st, Tia-Clair Toomey revealed a full day of eating, which she planned with her husband/coach, Shane Orr. They also revealed their thought process behind every decision they made to improve her performance, but also keep the meals enjoyable for Toomey.

Meal 1 – Breakfast
Tia-Clair Toomey’s breakfast is very dependent on her training schedule. Her breakfast is 3 hours before her first training session. Because of that Tia-Clair eats more fats and proteins, as they are a slower digesting energy source and keeps her fuller until training.
Shane attempted to lessen Tia-Clair’s consumption of bagels in her new diet, but it went in a completely opposite direction.
“We’ve done our best to wean Tia off bagels. That hasn’t worked at all. In fact, we’ve even added more bagels to the breakfast.” said Shane.
Shane prepared a breakfast sandwich of bagels covered in eggs, peanut butter, bananas, bacon, and blueberries.
- Beef bacon – 112 grams (140 calories)
- Everything bagel – 45 grams (127 calories)
- Two extra-large eggs (160 calories)
- Peanut butter and flaxseed – 20 grams (119 calories)
- One banana (89 calories)
- Blueberries – half-cup (53 calories)
- Three apple cider vinegar gummies (45 calories)
- Irish butter – 8 grams (57 calories)
Total Calories – 790 calories
Tia-Clair Toomey likes to stack up on vitamins and some other supplements in the morning. She also prefers training on a full stomach, as she is more energetic and recovers faster afterward.
