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!!

Chicken with Spinach and White Sweet Potato - 355 Calories

Tonight, as usual, I opened up the fridge and said "what the hell am I going to cook? Let's see...I have chicken (as usual), spinach, white sweet potato, onion, and tomato." So I threw it all together as below...
7 Ounces of chicken breast cut into 1 inch cubes
1 White sweet potato, microwaved, peeled, and cut into 1 inch cubes
2 Cups of spinach
1 Plum tomato, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1/4 Onion, sliced
1 Teaspoon marjoram
1/2 Teaspoon oregano
1/2 Teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 Teaspoon black pepper
Splash of vegetable broth

Spray a nonstick pan with oil from the misto, heat on high. Add chicken and sauté for 3 minutes. Add all the vegetables except for the spinach and sauté unto the onion is tender. Add a splash of vegetable broth to deglaze the pan. Add the spices and sauté well. Add the spinach and another splash of vegetable broth and sauté until the spinach is wilted.
Serves 1
