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!!

Cajun "Rice" - 64 Calories

A few weeks ago I made fried "rice" using grated raw cauliflower. Tonight, it's Cajun rice.
5 Ounces of fresh cauliflower, grated into a rice - like consistency
3 Green onions, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
3 Cloves of garlic, pressed
1/2 Red bell pepper, diced
1 Jalapeño pepper, diced
1/2 Teaspoon black pepper
1/2 Teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 Teaspoon white pepper
1/2 Teaspoon paprika 
1/2 Teaspoon salt 

 Spray a nonstick pan with oil from the misto and heat on high. Add cauliflower and sauté until the cauliflower starts to brown. Add the rest of the vegetables and spices and cook until the vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and serve.
