Chicken or Beef Stock

Posted by Rachael DeYoung in Recipes , Real Food , Paleo , Diet & Nutrition

 

 

Stock is nutritious and easy to make. Using stock as a base for meat, vegetables, and soups makes the foods easier to digest, and improves protein efficiency and nutrient absorption. Unfortunately, store-bought stocks and bouillon cubes have none of these great benefits, just added preservatives and chemicals such as MSG. I freeze ice cube trays of stock to use a couple at a time for a hot mug of broth, as a meat marinade, or to add to cooking oil or water when making stir-fry. Make a big batch of soup or stew to grab for lunch or dinner for the week.

Roast Chicken

Roasting a chicken is easy and super tasty, and gives you enough meat for the week for much cheaper than buying boneless skinless breasts. Save the bones to make stock and you'll be able to whip together delicious soups and stews.

The Taming of The Goat

Posted by Alex Cibiri in Training , Tips & Advice , CrossFit

 

Failing 20 times on your last 3 double unders. 

Your knees don't listen to you and refuse to stay out on your last heavy squat reps.

That workout with the stupid _______ in it. Who cares if you can do ______ well anyways, whoever thought up that particular exercise was clearly a sadist.

Ever had only a few things standing between you and your goal? Everything else would be perfect, if only these things would work the way you wanted them to. 

These things are your goats.

Eat Well On The Run

Posted by Rachael DeYoung in Tips & Advice , Real Food , Diet & Nutrition

 

It’s surprisingly easy to eat healthy on the run once you understand the principles behind food quality and quantity. These tips will help you make the healthiest decision while still enjoying a restaurant meal.

In a nutshell, protein servings should be about the size of your palm, skip the bread and fill up on vegetables, and have a bit of high-quality fat such as nuts, avocado, or olive oil.
