About Me
 |
Welcome to The Athlete’s Plate!
My name is Matt and I’m a 22 year old recent college graduate for the University of Alabama (Roll Tide!) trying to live a healthy life through food and fitness.
I recently accepted a job offer in the Dallas area, which is where I currently reside. It’s not the job that I want to be doing for the rest of my life, but it’s a place to gain experience to accomplish my ambitious goals later in life.
I’m a:
- Exclusive publisher for BlogHer ad network
- FitFlutential Ambassador
- Healthy Living Blogs member
- Healthy Eating Champion for thePlate Community
- Featured writer for Fitblogger
You can find me on:
You can contact me here.
The truth is, I was not born with a love for fitness, nor was I born with palate for tasty, healthy, nourishing food.
Over time, I have developed into a completely different person; a person who thrives on fitness, healthy living, and enjoying life as much as humanly possible.
Falafel Burgers with Tahini Sauce
While it took me 21 years to discover who I really am, I have finally discovered that I am an athlete who loves to cook.
Throughout this blog, I hope that I can share my knowledge about food, fitness, and other tidbits about healthy living.
Let’s get started!

Cheers!
Just found your blog, by way of HEAB – congrats on starting your blog, I think it looks great and your recipes look awesome. Can’t wait to make crab and avocado pizza!
I just found your blog through twitter & I’m loving it – great content!
Hello sir, the lovely Lindsay at Cotter Crunch recommended your sight, so here I am. I also recently finished my search for a “real job” after graduating from law school, so I know your plight…
Saw your “Roll Tide” and couldn’t help but comment and say it back, so…
Roll Tide!
RTR back at ya
Just found your blog and I love it! I’m running the chicago marathon in October. I can’t wait to read more!
Just found your blog via your comment about “not doing anything stupid” when it comes to running on The Broccoli Hut. Just wanted to say hi and that your comment definitely made me laugh. I’ve definitely partaken in my share of stupidity when it comes to doing too much, too soon. Especially when it comes to running.
Anyway, I also love fitness and healthy food! I’ll definitely be visiting your blog often
Just found your Blog! Looks great
That pizza looks so yummy
I just found your blog and I love it!
Congrats on the Marathon!

Love your site! Since you’re into running, you should check out the Run Project. A couple of friends of mine just started it–they are professional runners. It’s all about what inspires people to run. They should have their site up soon…you should check it out! Anyway, thanks for sharing about your love for living a healthy life…I’m a fan

Thanks for visting my blog! I like yours as well
That’s great that you are a writer/ambassador/member for all of the above organizations. I hope that I can become just as involved in the blogging community!
It is a good thing I like to work out, because my favorite part of running is chowing down on carbs the day before the big run! Thanks for sharing your stories!

Hi Matt! We just moved to Florida from Dallas and we miss it sooo much! I’m glad I found a blog that can help me find other ways to eat healthy without being boring! Plus, it’s nice that you live in our”home” area!
Aww thanks! What part of Dallas did you live in?
I love this blog. I have only read a couple of your posts so far but you’ve made me laugh and kept me interested! Im so glad I found this!
Thank you!
Hey Matt!
So super late on replying to your comment on my blogspot site. I can tell you graduated from the University of Alabama by your awesome blog! Keep doing the body some good and ROLL TIDE!
