CrossFit athlete Mat Fraser has earned the title of the Fittest Man on Earth. He's won the CrossFit Games four years in a row, and besides his physical training, his nutrition plays a key part to his success: Fraser burns through over 9,000 calories a day. (Specifically, 9,300 calories is his aim for intake.) He's shared his Chipotle order and breakfast, and now he's spilling the details on one of his favorite dinner recipes: beef fried rice.

Together with his fiancée Sammy Moniz, who cooks all of Fraser's meals, they whip up the meal for Nike's Athlete's Cookbook host James Davis. "I'm going to tell my truth: I haven't even turned on the burner of a stove in like four years," Fraser says.
Moniz then details what Fraser's diet consists of on a daily basis. "A lot of food. Lots of rice mainly, and just making sure that he's eating enough throughout the day, which is like a part-time job," she says. "He's on a pretty strict routine, so we just plug meals in around that."
Davis gets to work shredding some carrots, while Moniz works on the beef, and Fraser talks about how much he has to eat everyday."I had some testing done two years ago, and they told me to aim for 9,300 calories a day," he says. "I'm just training so much. I wake up and I go to bed thinking about training and competing.
Next they scramble the eggs, saute the veggies, and add in the rice. "We call this 'The Keeper' because it keeps well," says Moniz. Once it's done, Davis tests it out, and approves. "You feel stronger, don't you?" says Fraser.
As they sit down to enjoy their rice bowls, Fraser talks about the moment he knew he needed to make some serious changes to his diet.
"I lost the World Championships two years in a row, and after the second time that was when I was like, okay, before I thought I could out-train a bad diet, that I could out-train a bad sleep schedule. So that's when I just pushed all the chips in and said, 'I don't want any what-ifs'," he says. "In the last couple weeks before a competition, that's when I cut out any desserts, anything like that. I'm not doing it for looks, I'm not doing it for anything like that: It's purely for performance."

Ingredients
For the beef:
12 oz. flank steak, thinly sliced
¼ tsp. salt
1 tbsp. water
Pinch of baking soda
1 tsp. liquid aminos
1 tsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. olive oil
For the rest:
1 tbsp. hot water
¼ tsp. sugar
½ tsp. sesame oil
3 tbsp. liquid aminos
2 eggs, beaten
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 medium onion, diced
2 cups cooked white rice
¾ cup peas (frozen and thawed or canned)
¼ cup chopped carrots
1 green onion, thinly sliced
How to make it
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the beef marinade; add the beef. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
To make the stir-fry sauce, combine the hot water, sugar, sesame oil, and liquid aminos in a small bowl. In a nonstick pan over medium heat, scramble the eggs and set them aside.
In a large pan over medium-high heat, cook the beef to desired doneness, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Set the cooked beef aside—but don’t clean the pan yet. Add the olive oil, garlic, and onions to the “dirty” pan, cooking for about 5 to 7 minutes or until the onions are soft. Stir in the rice and pour the sauce over the whole thing, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
Add the cooked beef to the pan—along with all its good juices—as well as the peas and carrots, cooking for an additional 5 minutes. Incorporate the cooked egg into the rice mixture. Serve in bowls and top with sliced green onion.
