Until she gets that opportunity, she will be busy training, with the help of her coach and her nutritionist. Pena has learned that the proper fuel can be just as important as a good workout, and we got a peek at her favorite pretraining recipe:Day and time: Monday at noon, 60 to 90 minutes before my workout.Place: I eat this meal at my coach Luiz Claudios house, in Chicago, Illinois. I stay there for about eight weeks before a fight so I can get things done.What Im eating: Chicken breast with roasted sweet potatoes, caramelized onions and garlic broccoliWhose recipe: This recipe is from my nutritionist, Raphaella Augusto. I would starve during training camp if it werent for her! She has taught me how to best prepare my body for a fight by eating clean.Why Im eating it: Properly fueling up before and after a workout is a key factor in my muscle development. Eating foods that keep my blood sugar levels consistent throughout my workout has also been a key aspect of increasing endurance. As a rule, my preworkout meals are always prepared with protein and low-to-medium GI [glycemic index] carbohydrates. This recipe is a perfect example.The recipe: Serves fourChicken 4 chicken breasts 1 onion, sliced 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced Himalayan pink salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste 2 tablespoons olive oilBroccoli 2 heads of broccoli (1? pounds total), stems peeled and halved lengthwise 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or butter Himalayan pink salt and freshly ground black pepper to tasteSweet Potatoes? 4 garnet yams Himalayan pink salt and pepper to taste 1 tablespoon olive oil Pepper to tasteDirections: Grill the chicken breasts.

Cook uncovered until the garlic is golden brown (about 3 minutes). Season the broccoli with salt and pepper to taste and coat with garlic butter mixture.To prepare the sweet potatoes, preheat your grill. Fill a pot about half full with water (you will need just enough to cover the sweet potatoes) and add all the seasonings. Bring to a boil. Slice sweet potatoes and add them to the boiling water.
