For five-time Paralympian Alana Nichols, the rules for adhering to a modified, Paleo-inspired diet are simple: Eat cleanly and simply. If it wasnt around a million years ago, dont eat it, says Nichols, 33.Nichols was the first female U.S. athlete to medal in both summer and winter Paralympic sports (wheelchair basketball and alpine skiing). She heads to Rio as part of Team USAs inaugural paracanoe team. If she takes gold, she will make history once again as the first female U.S. athlete -- Paralympic or Olympic -- to win in three sports.I try to eat as raw as possible. Part of being a sprint kayaker is staying lean. While I benefited from carrying extra weight as an alpine skier, its not benefitting me now, so Im cutting out alcohol and most sugars, she says. The San Diego transplant admits, though, that she couldnt live without her coffee or occasional ice cream.Nichols shares her go-to miso salmon meal, with a side of quinoa and kale salad:Day and time: Before or after training, usually in the afternoon/eveningPlace: San Diego, California, my home base since 2015What Im eating: Miso salmon with kale salad and quinoa sidesWhose recipe: I adapted it from a recipe on the website ChefDeHome.Why Im eating it: I love this recipe for a couple of reasons. First of all, kale and quinoa go together like peanut butter and jelly. The combo has got all my favorite flavors and nutrients! Quinoa is a great source of protein and carbs and kale has the leafy green, energetic nutrients I need to feel great. And the best part -- the miso-glazed salmon! Low-carb, high-protein and gluten-free makes it a healthy meal that will sit well before or after training.The recipe:For salmon: 1 tablespoon ginger (fresh grated) 1 pound salmon (approx. 3 fillets) 3 tablespoons miso paste 2 tablespoons maple syrup 1 teaspoon sesame oil 2 tablespoons white wine 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Oil spraySlice fillets vertically. Coat salmon in miso paste, then marinate for 5 minutes before skewering and broiling for approximately 4-6 minutes until golden brown on the edges.For lemon-sesame kale salad: 1/2 pound kale 1 teaspoon sesame oil 1 tablespoon lemon juice Salt and pepper to tasteMix all ingredients together, toss and set aside to serve with salmon.

TORONTO -- The Toronto Blue Jays hope a return home will revive their sputtering offense.It might not be easy, however, against the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday.Tampa Bay will send out Jake Odorizzi in the opener of the three-game series at Rogers Centre.The right-hander has matched the club record with three consecutive scoreless starts. He has not allowed a run in 20 2/3 innings, one-third of a frame short of the teams season-best string set by Alex Colome.Its nice to have the results to go with the stuff, Odorizzi said. From a confidence standpoint, when pitchers have good stuff, see good results, the confidence goes through the roof.The Blue Jays are returning from a 4-3 road trip against the Houston Astros and the Kansas City Royals.They returned from a winning trip without much hitting. After the Royals took the rubber match of the three-game series 7-1 on Sunday, the Blue Jays were outscored 19-17 over the seven games and batted .138 with runners in scoring position.They have failed to score more than four runs in a game since July 30 when they plated nine against the Baltimore Orioles, who beat the Chicago White Sox 10-2 Sunday to take a one-game lead over the Blue Jays (63-49) in the American League East.Today was a little bit frustrating, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said after his team hit just six singles. We really havent been swinging it good since that last homestand. Weve been kind of in a little rut, so were due to explode.There are 162 games, its baseball and its hard to be hot for 162, said Marcus Stroman, who allowed three runs in five innings to take the loss Sunday. Our guys are some of the best hitters in the league, were aware of that, and the drought is not going to last. Its just one of those spurts and Im sure theyll break out soon.The Rays lost 6-3 Sunday to the Minnesota Twins to complete a 6-4 homestand that included a three-game sweep of the New York Yankees.They are 11-11 since the All -Star break but at 45-65 overall are well removed froom postseason contention.dddddddddddd They have been pitching well, however, and have allowed three runs or fewer in 11 of their past 13 games.The Rays are undergoing a rebuilding process and before the deadline for trades without waivers last Monday, they traded left-hander Matt Moore, outfielder Brandon Guyer and utility player Steve Pearce.Third baseman Evan Longoria, who is accustomed to playing on Tampa Bay team that contended and reached the World Series in 2008, longs to return to a contenders status.Im ready to win, Longoria told the Tampa Times. I hate sitting around watching all my friends go out and do that. I do believe we can be a contender here again. It takes a lot. It takes a lot. And we have to believe that from the top down.... Personally you get spoiled going to the playoffs so often (four times in six years) and just expecting that it is going to happen again. ... I want to go back. And I want us to do everything possible to give ourselves the best chance to do that.Odorizzi (6-5, 3.70 ERA), who will face knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (8-12, 4.49 ERA) on Monday, allowed two hits and two walks over six innings Wednesday in a 12-0 win against Kansas City.He is 3-2 with a 3.33 ERA in nine career starts against the Blue Jays, In three starts against them this season, Odorizzi is 1-0 with a 2.04 ERA. He has made five career starts at Rogers Centre, going 2-2 with a 5.27 ERA.Dickey is 1-1 with a 5.73 ERA two starts against the Rays this season. In his career, he is 8-9 with a 4.33 ERA against Tampa Bay in 24 games, including 20 starts.The Rogers Centre has not been kind to Dickey this season. He is 2-8 with a 5.40 ERA this season and has allowed 15 of his 26 homers there this season.The last time the teams met, the Rays swept a three-game series at Rogers Centre May 16-18 and scored 31 runs, a club record for a three-game series.
