Abstract

The objective of this study was to relate eating habits with body composition in people aged 18 to 40 years who practice CROSSFIT in the XpartaBox located in the Durán canton of the city of Guayaquil in the period May - August 2022. This is a non-experimental descriptive design study with a crosssectional quantitative approach, using a survey of eating habits and the use of electrical bioimpedance to obtain anthropometric data such as percentage of fat mass, percentage of muscle mass, BMI, height, and weight. The study sample consisted of 80 people who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. As a result, it was evidenced that the female sex presented 16% of overweight in the group of 23-40 years old, in relation to the male sex that has a normal weight. It is concluded that there is a significant correlation between fat consumption and body fat percentage, since the p-value is less than 0.05.
