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!!

Shrimp and Scallop Scampi - 446 Calories

It's no secret I love garlic so shrimp scampi has always been a favorite of mine. Unfortunately, the original recipe with butter over pasta isn't paleo but my version is.
6 Ounces of large shrimp
3 Ounces of bay scallops
3 Ounces of Miracle Noodles
1 Tablespoon of ghee 
1 Tablespoon of minced garlic
1/2 Tablespoon oregano
1 Teaspoon white pepper
1/2 Teaspoon salt
Splash of moscato wine

Put ghee in a nonstick pan and heat on high. Add the shrimp and scallops and sauté for one minute. Add the garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper, sauté for two minutes and then add the wine. Rinse the noodles and add to the seafood mixture. Sauté until hot then serve. I sprinkle the food with crushed red pepper. 
Serves 1
