It seems like we at Crossfit are always telling you what you shouldn’t eat.  Well that’s great…but I have to eat to fuel the machine right?  So for all of you searching for some variety in what you eat, what you snack on, and what you put in your body for recovery.  These options are all dairy free for those of you who don’t do dairy because you are lactose intolerant or you are following a version of the paleo diet.

Menu examples
Breakfast:

  • Eggs, bacon and fried tomatoes
  • Pork chop/chicken breast and whole, raw vegetables
  • Carrot salad with grated apple and meat leftovers

  • An additional morning meal is the Brain shake from the Zone Diet – 2 cups blueberries, 30 grams protein, handful walnuts & 4 teaspoons high quality fish oil. (over 4000mg omega-3)
  • Can of tuna with mayonnaise and lemon (tastes good with orange juice, just don’t overdo the orange juice)

Lunch:

  • A piece of meat (any meat will do) and a large salad

    Zeke, your coaching must be paying off the ladies have excellent form on those front squats…keep raising the bar, it’s working! Congrats

  2. Ezekiel says:

    Thanks John – everyone on our team – both athletes and coaches are putting a lot of hard work. When is the grand opening date for your box? I want to come visit!

    Thanks for sharing this post Sam – lots of great ideas for what to eat and not to mention I really love bullet lists!

    Zeke,

    120 days after we open the doors. I found a great space 3200 sq ft for .50/sq ft…gotta love South Louisiana. We are still 30-45 days a way from getting it open…$ is the only issue right now. I had a couple of investors back out so still in the mix for that but am confident. I’ll keep you posted via FB.

    Great meal ideas, Sam! I was actually in Barnes and Noble today looking for a Paleo-like recipe book for healthy meal ideas — and left without finding anything.

    This is perfect! Thanks!
