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!!

Mock Chicken and Shrimp Fried "Rice" - 345 Calories

This is mock fried "rice" because instead of using rice, I use cauliflower rice. I take a raw cauliflower and run it through the grater of my food processor so it come out like the consistency of rice. Makes a high carb meal into a low carb meal. Try it, you can't taste the difference!


6 Ounce boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 1 inch cubes
2 Ounces of jumbo shrimp
1 Cup of bean sprouts
1/3 Cup frozen sweet peas
5 Green onions cut into 1/2 inch pieces
4 Ounces of fresh cauliflower, grated (the consistency of rice)
2 Tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce (More or less to taste)
1/2 Teaspoon Chinese five spice
Grated fresh ginger to taste

Spray a nonstick pan with olive oil from the misto and on high. Sauté chicken until browned. Add the vegetables and shrimp. After 5 minutes, remove from the pan leaving the drippings in the pan. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté until light brown then add the meat and vegetable mixture and soy sauce, five spice and grate some fresh ginger into the mixture. Mix thoroughly.
Serves 1.
