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!!

"Miracle" Chicken Arrabbiata Florentine - 290 Calories

Arrabiata sauce is a spicy tomato pasta sauce. I added spinach to boost the vitamins and minerals, hence the "florentine." I served it over the miracle noodles from the earlier post.
7 Ounces of boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 1 inch cubes
2 Cup spinach
3 Tomatoes, diced
1/4 Red onion, julienned
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
4 Large fresh basil leaves, ripped into small pieces
1/2 Tablespoon oregano
1 Teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 Tablespoon crushed red pepper
1 Teaspoon black pepper
1/2 Teaspoon salt
Splash of moscato wine
Splash of vegetable broth
3 Ounces of Angle hair Miracle Noodles

Spray a nonstick pan with oil from the misto and heat on high. Add the chicken and sauté for three minutes. Add a splash of moscato to deglaze the pan. Add the tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil, and spices. Cook until the tomatoes break down and the onion is tender. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Add a splash of the vegetable broth if you need to thin the sauce. Rinse the Miracle Noodles with cold water and add to the sauce. Heat thoroughly and serve.
