Check out the video below to see what Toomey-Orr reaches for in the aisles of her grocery store:

Fittest Groceries
Before hopping into the grocery store on an overcast rest day, Toomey-Orr shares something particularly noteworthy — she and her coach, Shane Orr, “don’t plan too much” in terms of diet until they are closer to a competition. One of those times is during the release of her video, just over two weeks until the 2021 Rogue Invitational.
Convenient Go-To Options
Toomey-Orr stocks up on her go-to foods for snacks and meals throughout the week aside from protein. For her protein, she will usually acquire it day of to ensure freshness and opt for leaner meat options like chicken, steak, or ground beef that is 90 percent lean and 10 percent fat. She also dabbles in turkey bacon and cage-free eggs for her bagels for breakfast. For her easy go-to meals that can be popped in the microwave for convenience after late training sessions, Toomey-Orr’s go-to is Maya Kaimal’s organic Everyday Dals — pre-packaged vegan-friendly meals — with some rice.
I’ll always go with the ones I can read the [ingredients] on the back. If it’s…numbers and things I can’t even pronounce, I’m going to steer clear of that.

Tacos are another go-to for the Fittest Woman on Earth® due to being very customizable to ensure she’s hitting any macros or other dietary needs she might need. There is also a large variety of spice mixtures and seasonings at the ready in the supermarket. Toomey-Orr tries to steer clear of products with too many ingredients listed on their nutrition labels as she is conscious about what she puts in her body. She admits that corn starch is hard to avoid despite being undesirable. For reference, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), corn accounts for more than 90 percent of total feed grain production in the USA.
Sweet Tooth
A staple for Toomey-Orr is granola and almond milk yogurt. She notes that store-bought granola is likely to have a lot of sugar in it, “hence why it tastes so delicious,” and that homemade granola could avoid the added sugar if that’s preferred. The CrossFit Games champ is okay with sugar every so often and reached for Nature’s Path Love Crunch dark chocolate and red berries granola on this particular grocery run.
To satisfy sweet cravings, Toomey-Orr and Orr have an affinity for caramel popcorn (also known as kettle corn). This preference of cheat day treat evolved when they moved from Australia to the USA. Other considerations are chocolate-covered nuts and Kind® Bars. When they prefer to avoid sugar altogether, Toomey-Orr will pop corn from scratch and add a bit of salt.
