sticky top nav creates a scrollbar

I have a page with a sticky navbar at the top, and I gave the navbar a height 50px, and pushed the body using padding-top of 50px but now the page has a scrollbar. How can I get rid of the scrollbar?

jsfiddle page

Here is HTML:

<body>
    <div class="container">
        <!-- Navigation bar section -->
        <nav class="navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation">
            <div class="navbar-header"> <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Project name</a>

            </div>
            <div class="navbar-collapse">
                <ul class="navbar-nav">
                    <li><a href="#">Tutorials</a>
                    </li>
                    <li><a href="#">About</a>
                    </li>
                </ul>
            </div>
        </nav>
    </div>
    <!--/.container-->
</body>

and the CSS:

* {
    margin: 0;
}
html, body {
    height: 100%;
}
body {
    padding-top: 50px;
}
/* top navigation bar 
 * ------------------ */
 .navbar-fixed-top {
    top: 0px;
    position: fixed;
    right: 0px;
    left: 0px;
    z-index: 1030;
    min-height: 50px;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
    border: 1px solid black;
    background: white;
    display: block;
    clear: both;
}
.navbar-header {
    float: left;
    padding: 15px;
    background-color: lightblue;
    clear: both;
}
.navbar-brand {
    font-size: 18px;
    line-height: 20px;
}
.navbar-collapse {
    float: left;
    background-color: #FF9933;
}
.navbar-nav {
}
.navbar-nav > li {
    float: left;
    display: block;
}
.navbar-nav > li > a {
    line-height: 20px;
    position: relative;
    display: block;
    padding: 15px;
}

Pushing the body pushes everything that the window displays (the document). I don't recommend it.

Making a div called space and setting it's height to 50px would fix it: so...

The css:

   .space {
      height: 50px;
      width: 100%;
    }

The Html:

<div class="space"></div>

Then you can use it more than once. Put the div after the navigation.

Use the property box-sizing

box-sizing:border-box

To make the value of the padding be included inside the value of the height.
