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!!

Ground Chicken Pasta Sauce over Kelp Noodles - 201 calories

The sauce was cooked a few days ago and placed in the refrigerator. Kelp noodles can be found at Whole Foods in the ethnic aisle. I use them in a lot of recipes when pasta is needed or if there is a saucy dish. Alone they don't have much flavor. They assume the flavor of whatever they are mixed with. One of the best things about kelp noodles is the low calorie count, they are only 6 calories for 4 ounces!
1/3 of the previously cooked pasta sauce
4 ounces of kelp noodles
A splash or two of vegetable broth

Bring a pot of water to boil and add the kelp noodles. In another pot, add the pasta sauce and heat on medium. After the noodles have boiled for 5 minutes, drain and add to the pasta sauce. If you would like the sauce "saucier", add a splash or two of vegetable. Heat thoroughly and serve.
