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 With Red Curry - 326 Calories

I love Thai food, so I bought some red curry paste. When you by the curry paste, make sure you look at the ingredients to make sure there aren't any chemical additives. Red curry doesn't have much heat so I add sliced jalapeños. If you want a milder dish, omit the jalapeños.
7 Ounces of peeled, deveined, uncooked shrimp
1/2 Red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch chunks
1/4 Red onion, julienned
1 Jalapeño, sliced, not seeded (optional)
2 Cups spinach
1/2 Tablespoon red curry paste
1/2 Cup coconut milk

Spray a nonstick pan with oil from the misto and heat on high. Whisk the curry paste into the coconut milk and set aside. Add the vegetables,except the spinach, and sauté for three minutes. Add the shrimp and sauté for two minutes. Add the spinach and sauté for two minutes the add the curry/coconut milk mixture and cook unti the spinach is wilted. Serve.
