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!!

Spicy Almond Butter Chicken - 410 Calories and White Sweet Potato Fries - 98 Calories

Since I'm doing paleo, I wanted to take the spicy peanut butter chicken and make it with a paleo twist - using almond butter instead of peanut butter. It came out great! I added onion and jalapeño to this recipe, otherwise the recipe is the same. The link is here... http://krossfitkitchen.blogspot.com/2014/05/spicy-peanut-butter-chicken-380-calories.html
As the side, I made white sweet potato fries. White sweet potato tastes like a sweet Yukon gold potato.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and spray a cookie sheet with oil from the misto. Wash the outside and pricing the skin, microwave the potato for 3 minutes on each side. Cut the potato in half then slice the potato in 1/2 inch strips. Place the fries on a cookie sheet, season with salt and pepper or your seasoning of choice, and bake for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, turn the fries over and bake for another 15 minutes. If you want the fries crisper, place them under the broiler.
