Spicy Baked BBQ Chicken

     Okay, once again, you do not need skills to be at master at this. Almost every clean recipe is easy to make because you're not adding ingredients left and right. This is very clean eating, obviously, these aren't always recipes that you'd eat a week before a competition. However, these recipes will definitely slim you down and prepare you for a show, or just slim you down in general.

Spicy Baked BBQ Chicken

      I'm a fan of SPICY, how about you? I lightly sprayed the bottom of a pan with extra virgin olive oil. I sprinkled cayenne pepper and paprika on a couple large chicken breasts and baked them at 350 for about 50 minutes. Now BBQ sauce is high in sugar, so I didn't use too much. I put a couple tablespoons over the top of the breasts after they were done baking and just let them sit a few minutes before cutting. Viola! So simple, right? I had steamed broccoli seasoned with Tony Chachere's Lite Creole seasoning. Like I said, spicy. When eating clean for so long you will tend to season a lot of foods in different ways. Finally, my good carb was brown rice.

Food tip: Uncle Ben's ready to eat brown rice(s) are very convenient if you don't have time to steam your own. Also, the ready to eat cup of (that you heat in the microwave) have less sodium than the ready to eat bags of rice.

Scrambled Egg Whites & Turkey

We all know that breakfast is something you can't skip. I've skipped breakfast for YEARS and it finally caught up with me while coming into my wonderful 30's. Now that I'm eating a healthy breakfast I can easily maintain my weight. Something even your kiddos (if you have any) can whip up is this EASY breakfast. Don't forget, feeding your children healthy food instead of cereal or pop tarts every morning will be extremely beneficial too.

Egg whites are high in protein, which means you'll feel full faster and longer. Whole eggs are healthy too, the egg yolk has good fats. However, if you're trying to lose body fat you should watch your fats closely. Normally, cutting fat is needed because natural fats are found in a lot of foods. Turkey is low fat/low cal. and high in protein. The smoked turkey is a GREAT substitute for greasy bacon. Remember, about 40% protein, 40% good carbs, 20% fats.

I lightly sprayed the frying pan with olive oil then diced up some sliced turkey into the egg whites. SIMPLE for those busy mornings.
