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!!

Sweet and Spicy Honey Garlic Chicken - 272 Calories

Well, I wasn't sure what to cook tonight. I was in the mood for something spicy (I know, that was a surprise) but I was also in the mood for something sweet. I looked in the cabinet and this is what I came up with.

7 Ounces of boneless - skinless chicken breast cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 Red bell pepper cut into chunks
1 Jalapeño pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 Tablespoon crushed red pepper
1 Tablespoon honey
1/2 Tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 Tablespoon black pepper
1 Teaspoon salt

Spray a nonstick pan with olive oil from the misto and heat on high. Add the chicken and salt and sauté for three minutes. Add the red bell pepper and jalapeño. Cook for three more minutes. Add the crushed red pepper, black pepper, and minced garlic. Cook a few more minutes until the chicken is done. Add the honey, mix thoroughly until heated throughout, remove for heat and serve.
Serves 1
