Why do this?

DO WORK! It's a saying used to motivate people, particularly at the gym, or in my case, at CrossFit.



DO EAT! In my experience, when people work out they are afraid to eat. In reality, it's not the case. It's more that they don't know what to eat. It's ok to eat. In fact, when you're working out, you HAVE to eat!



Over two years ago, I got fed up with how I looked and felt so I decided to embark on a "lifestyle change" (I refuse to say diet). That included exercise and eating right. Over the years, I have learned a lot about nutrition, what to eat and what not to eat. By no means do I claim to be a nutritional expert. I'm just some schmo that's learned from reading and speaking with people that are smarter than me.



That being said, I've developed various recipes using natural and organic ingredients that were not only lower in calories and tasted great, but are also good for you!



CrossFit is supposed to be hard, eating right shouldn't be! So work hard and DO EAT!!

Grilled Chicken and Vegetables in a Yellow Coconut Curry Sauce - 279 Calories

So you didn't take anything out for dinner, but the prepared clean eater that you are, grilled a stack of boneless chicken breasts last night for a week's worth of lunches. This recipe takes no more than 10 minutes from the time you take the ingredients out of the refridgerator to the moment you sit down to enjoy this quick meal.
1 7 Ounce pre-grilled chicken breast, cut into 1 inch cubes
15ish Snow pea pods
I jalapeño pepper, seeded and sliced thin
1/2 Red onion, sliced thin
1 Cup unsweetened coconut milk (I use Silk)
1 Tablespoon sweet curry powder
1 Teaspoon black pepper

Spray a nonstick pan with habanero oil with a misto (see yesterday's post - you can use any flavored or non flavored olive oil) and preheat the pan on medium high. Once hot, add the chicken and vegetables and sauté for three minutes. Add coconut milk, curry powder, and black pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and the coconut milk has been reduced to about half. Remove from heat and serve.
