I. What is your Coach Eating for Dinner this week? Fifth Installment of Eating Habits:
It has been a few weeks since I have posted my last meal and what I have been eating, but here goes another choice for all you Paleo Eaters and people interested in trying out the Paleo. The great thing about a CrossFit Gym is the community that we are surrounded by and who we have as resources. Some great people to contact with recipes and food tips are the following people: Janet Harris, Elizabeth Guardia, Ross O’Brien, Nicole Clark Ramirez and so on to name a few people. Ask these people what they are eating and see what recipes you might be able to steal from them for your own use!
The following meal above has a good balance between protein and carbohydrates. My fatty intake was limited, as during this day, I was already pushing my limits with eating about 3 ounces of nuts, so I decided to lay low on the fat intake during my main meal. I buy most of my meat from Whole Foods and always buy my fish from Whole Foods. Whole Foods fish is fresh and not frozen, and just tastes better and usually is from a local area in the state. Also, the meat selection at Whole Foods is abundant and you have the choice to get grass fed as well. I buy most of my vegetables from Stop and Shop and Roche Bros. to save a little bit of money and time for traveling distance. Another great option for buying items in bulk and also saving a little money is Trader Joe’s.
