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!!

Chicken and Spinach Scampi - 386 Calories

The paleo hits just keep coming! Usually scampi recipes are made with butter, therefore aren't paleo. This one is made with ghee, therefore it is! The ghee recipe is also on this blog.
7 Ounces of boneless, skinless, chicken breast, cubed
2 Cups of fresh baby spinach
1/4 Cup of Moscato wine (or any white wine, I just prefer the sweet, fruity flavor of Moscato)
1 Tablespoon of minced garlic
1 Tablespoon of ghee
1/2 Tablespoon of oregano
1 Teaspoon of white pepper
1 Teaspoon of salt

Spray a nonstick pan with oil from the misto and heat on high. Add the chicken and sauté for three minutes. Add the salt and pepper sauté for two more minutes. Add ghee, garlic, oregano and sauté for three more minutes. Add the Moscato and after two minutes add the spinach and cook until it is wilted then serve.
