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!!

Homemade Peanut Butter - 165 Calories per ounce

I LOVE peanut butter! I hate the calories, which can be upwards of 210 calories per ounce. In addition, the sugar, added fat, and preservatives found in commercial peanut butter. Making homemade peanut butter is really easy and tastes much better than store bought.
2 Cups of dry roasted peanuts
1 Teaspoon peanut oil

Place the peanuts in a food processor with the chopping blade and start grinding the peanuts. Occasionally, stop the food processor and scape down the sides. After 7 or so minutes, add the oil and  continue grinding until smooth.
Serving size is 1 ounce, the amount of servings vary.
