About Me – Alice Carter of AliceRecipes.net

Hi there, I’m Alice Carter, and if you had told my 18-year-old self—bench pressing in a dusty college gym and living on protein bars—that one day I’d be a chef helping people transform their bodies through food, I probably would’ve laughed mid-rep.

But here I am.
Today, at 34, I live in sunny Los Angeles, and I spend my days at the intersection of flavor, fitness, and real-life nutrition—developing recipes that support wellness goals without sacrificing taste.

Where It All Began

I didn’t grow up with dreams of being a chef. I started my career as a certified personal trainer, working with competitive athletes and everyday clients trying to feel stronger, healthier, and more confident.

And while training helped people move better, I saw the same issue over and over again:
Nutrition was the missing puzzle piece.

You can’t out-train a poor diet, and life’s too short for food that feels like punishment.

From Dumbbells to the Dinner Table

That realization brought me from the gym to the kitchen. I enrolled in culinary school in L.A., trained under chefs who taught me how to honor real ingredients, and started building meals that fuel the body and feed the soul.

I began crafting recipes that are:

  • Balanced and macro-friendly
  • Big on flavor, light on processed junk
  • Ideal for muscle growth, fat loss, and energy support

From seared salmon with citrus quinoa to protein pancakes that don’t taste like cardboard, every dish is developed with a purpose: progress without sacrifice.

🔬 My Kitchen = Science Lab + Comfort Zone

Every recipe you’ll find on AliceRecipes.net is:

  • Tested for taste, texture, and nutritional value
  • Measured with performance goals in mind
  • Designed to make healthy eating fun, sustainable, and crave-worthy

Yes, I’ve burned sweet potatoes. Yes, I once tried to bake with pea protein (never again). But the heart of this blog is about learning, improving, and enjoying the journey.
